Connected to our Head

1 Kings 17-19; Colossians 2 

“He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.”

Colossians 2:19

Growth is a function of the body’s system responding to the direction of the head. Christ is not just the historic Head of the Church, his body, but the Living Head; providing leadership and nurture now, in real time, for those who remain in Christ. The ligaments and sinews are the relational connections within the body which enable joints to function and different parts of the body to work together. The Head of the body of Christ is calling the various parts of his body into alignment and coordinated action in mission.

Are we receiving leadership direction from Christ which is strengthening our relationships and effective movement with other parts of the body of Christ?

Have we lost connection with the Head?

“Lord Jesus, you are my Head and leader. I invite you to more effectively connect me to other parts of your body, for your glory.”
