"Holding fast the Head, from whom all the body . . .
increaseth with the increase of God." Colossians 2:19
Although we are to be diligent in maintaining fellowship
in the Body of Christ, we are not told to attach ourselves to our fellow
members, but to hold fast the Head. If we are absolutely right with the Lord,
then we will be right with fellow believers. There is no possessive
relationship between the members; all is through Christ.
If Christ is the Head, then you or I cannot be. The
decisions that we make, we make not from personal choice but in obedience to
him; and I cannot decide for you nor you for me. I cannot be your head, for no
human body obeys two heads! Alas, it sometimes seems that Christ’s Body has too
many would-be heads down here. No, let us abandon the ambition to control one
another. Christ alone is the Head of us all.
