Paul show us that Christ has been exalted as the head of all things. He rules over the world, all the creatures, and believers and unbelievers alike. There is nothing is outside of Christ’s control. Because of this, the name of Jesus Christ is above all names. It is above the nations, above the president, and above every person of power in this world. All must answer to the Lord Jesus Christ, both those that trust in Him and those that don’t. Paul shows that those who do trust in Him for their salvation and recognize Him as Lord will share in His rule. Where He is the head, the Christians are the body. We have been enabled to share because we have a gracious Lord who is willing to share in His reign with us. Have you recognized Christ as your Lord? Have you acknowledged Him as greater than the sins in your life?
