Passage : Ephesians 1"And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church" Ephesians 1:22
God gave his Son, Jesus Christ "all things". He has made him head over everything, but why? Paul tells us it is "for the church," Jesus' bride, his body. The picture here is a beautiful one. Jesus Christ, our bridegroom, has been made head over all things for us; it is for our benefit. What grace! We, who were once dead in sin, have been made (through the love and grace of God) alive in Christ Jesus and as if that were not enough, we have been betrothed to him as well! Our bridegroom desires to give us all things. The realization that we have a Bridegroom that loves and cares for us, who desires to give us all things, should fill us with awe. We have a Bridegroom that laid down his life to save us; that suffered unspeakable things that we might live. Such love can only foster eternal devotion in return. All our days should be filled with following him wherever he leads us. Yes, he is our head, our Lord and Master and where he leads us we will go.
Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us a head that loves us more than life itself. Help us to remain focused on Jesus, our head, and let us never forget what he went through to make us his body, his bride. Help us to lay down our lives for him in return. May we be faithful to him all the days of our lives! Amen.
