A King with a Kingdom
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him
to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Ephesians 1:22-23

All the glory of heaven and earth, both realms are entirely devoted to Jesus, the head of the Church. This was a gift given by the Father to the Son, which gave Him dominion in both the upper and lower world. But also, such a “head” is most certainly a gift to the body!
Not a thing stands beyond the reach of His power or knowledge, and He has been given to us. The Church, the body of Christ, is described as the “fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” He is our fullness, supplying strength where we are weak, even so much as making us stronger in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:10).
He is a king with a kingdom, as we find our completion in Him, so the Father has graciously used
us to complete Christ’s headship. We are ransomed to this His domain of light to His honor and glory (Colossians 1:13), as He rules and reigns. Understand today that we serve the literal King of kings! No matter the height to which man may ascend, there is only one head, and that is Christ.
