Jesus Christ rules the universe in the interest of the church

Ephesians 1:22-23
New International Version (NIV)
22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Ephesians 1:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

Colossians 1:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.





All power and authority within the church derive from Jesus Christ as the head

Jesus Christ is recognised as head of the church

Ephesians 4:15
New International Version (NIV)
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Ephesians 5:23
New International Version (NIV)
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

Colossians 2:19
New International Version (NIV)
19 They have 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.





Within the church Jesus Christ alone rules with authority

Matthew 23:8
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

John 13:13
New International Version (NIV)
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.

2 Corinthians 4:5
New International Version (NIV)
5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.





The church owes obedience to its head

John 14:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21
King James Version (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Ephesians 5:24
New International Version (NIV)
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

1 John 3:24
New International Version (NIV)
24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.






All human authority in the church derives from its head

Ephesians 4:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers


Galatians 1:1
New International Version (NIV)
1 Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—






Jesus Christ is the cornerstone and builder of the church

Ephesians 2:20-22
New International Version (NIV)
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Matthew 16:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades[b] will not overcome it.

Acts 4:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’[a]

SOME PEOPLE CLAIMED THEY JUST ELECTED THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.

thank you brother.

Let us see if Jesus will make front page.

"And he [Jesus] said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." ―Luke 16:15

Jesus is the head - no one else.

The man dey pull crowd o. .

Is the man on the "narrow" way?

Hmmm!
Smh.

debosky: Jesus is the head - no one else.

Yes o. Jesus is the head of the church. And of course Jesus does not make front page in nairaland except for the purrposes of ridiculing him.

In this wicked world , registered s.ex offenders are more acceptable to their clueless followers than the Son of the living GOD.

Matthew 7:13
New International Version (NIV)
The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

alexleo:

Yes o. Jesus is the head of the church. And of course Jesus does not make front page in nairaland except for the purrposes of ridiculing him.

Jesus doesn't need to make the front page of nairaland - Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
