# 13 HEADSHIP OF CHRIST
READ: Lk. 20:17-Acts 4:11-1Pet 2:7
INTRO:As Son of Man He has acquired a four-fold headship.
Certain principle employed in Him being the Head of the
assembly.
1--HEAD OF THE CORNER--Acts 4:11
All the purposes of God fulfilled in Him.--Joining two
walls--Not just the Church--Eph 1:10
2--HEAD OF PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS
Col 2:10--Angelic world
3--HEAD OF THE CHURCH AS HIS BODY
Eph 1:22--4:15--5:23--Col 1:18
4--HEAD OF THE MAN IN THE ASSEMBLY
1 Cor. 11:3--strictly speaking
Three-fold Headship
HEAD OF THE MAN IN THE ASSEMBLY
Not like the Queen being the Head
PRACTICE YOU KEEP
Col 2:19 "Not holding the Head"
[a] Giving place to fleshly wisdom--angels--
[b] Following the traditions of men--20,21
This is held symbolically by the physical heads of
all
THREE "HEADS & GLORIES"
Glory of the woman--Hair-v.15
Glory of the man--woman-v.8
Glory of God--man V.8
These should all be given to Christ and He in turn give
them to God-Eph 3:21
IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE MUST
1--HE MUST BE THE LORD OF EACH BELIEVER
1 Cor. "Lord" 69 times--Lordship means each bow to
Him as Lord
2--UNCOVERED BRETHREN-- 1 Cor 11:7
Physical--Spiritual Christ
When brethren take part it is to give Him place--Unveiling Christ
N.B.He is to display God's glory
If man's glory was seen it would be the woman
3--COVERED SISTERS--Vs. 5,6,10
"covered"--kata-covered--implies "well covered"--maybe
her glory
should not seen by the angels
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS
THREE PEOPLE OUT OF PLACE IN.. FALL
EVE--Going ahead of Adam
ADAM--disobeying
GOD--no place among them
THREE OUT OF PLACE AT CORINTH
WOMAN--not covered and speaking
MAN--displaying natural gifts 12:1 and human wisdom
CHRIST--no preeminence among them
Paul is putting in ORDER what was out in order to show the meaning of Eph 3:10
