He's It

 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.

Even though we call our president the head of our country and his wife the “first lady,” the highest authority in the land, they are under submission to the supreme God we serve.

Even though we have ministers and preachers and leaders who run our churches the best they know how, their decisions and authority are under the supreme God we serve.

Even though death rules over this earth by capturing the body of every human, even death doesn’t rule over us – because He conquered it!

Authority is good, when it’s used well and in submission to Him, and offered in loving service to those whom those in authority lead.  However, we’ve all been burned at one time or another by someone in authority over us.

God is in control (as we read yesterday) and he has supremacy (as we’re reading today), so we don’t have to fear those in authority who shake and misuse their power. 

We belong to HIM and him only, and he makes all things work together for good to those who love him, because he is the head of our body, our church, our country, and our home.
