Everything
was created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16)
The
key to everything with God is Life.... We must realize that Christ's
ascendancy, supremacy, power, ability and all that goes with Headship, is in
terms of His prerogative of Life. He is the Son, vested with Life; He has the
right given Him of God to give Life to as many as believe. That is why He is
Head. You can set up people in office and make Popes of them and they may make
great claims, but what does it amount to? When you come up against death, what
can they do? But bring in one who has the power of life over death, be he ever
so humble on this earth, he is head, he is master, he is lord. You may bring
all the greatest physicians that the world knows into the presence of death,
and when death takes charge, they are helpless. But supposing you bring in a
little, insignificant person who is nobody, with no capabilities whatever in
this world, no training, and that one be invested with the power of life over
death, he rules out all these others, they are as nothing in his presence, he
is lord of the situation.
Christ
is Head, not just by appointment, but in terms of Life. We may be very
insignificant people on this earth, nothing at all to be taken account of by
the world, but if only we have Christ in fullness of Life we are in a supreme
position, we make all the great organizations and institutions as nothing. It
is a spiritual thing, the impact of Christ; not tradition, not history, not
theology, but the spiritual power of His presence in terms of Life through
faith and righteousness.
