1 Corinthians 11:3, Christ is the Head of Every Man
1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
John Gill observed well, “Christ is the head of every individual human nature, as he is the Creator and Preserver of all men, and the donor of all the gifts of nature to them; of the light of nature, of reason, and of all the rational powers and faculties; He is the head of nature to all men, as He is of grace to His own people: and so He is as the Governor of all the nations of the earth, who whether they will or no are subject to Him; and one day every knee shall bow to Him, and every tongue confess that He is the Lord of all.”
He further observed, “Moreover, Christ is the head of every believing man; He is generally said to be the head of the church, and so of every man that is a member of it: He is a common public head, a representative one to all His elect; so He was in election, and in the covenant of grace; so He was in time, in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to, and entrance into heaven; and so He is now as an advocate and intercessor there: He is the political head of His people, or an head in such sense, as a king is the head of His nation: He is also an economical head, or in such sense an head as an husband is the head of his wife, and as a parent is the head of his family, and as a master is the head of his servants; for all these relations Christ sustains: yea, He is a natural head, or is that to His church, as an human head is to an human body: He is a true and proper head, is of the same nature with His body, is in union to it, communicates life to it, is superior to it, and more excellent than it.”
All thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ from whom we have our being. Amen.
