Jesus leads the church.
Jesus is the leader and the Lord of the church. True believers will follow his lead because He takes care of them and shows them the right way. Christ is the motor center in which the whole church moves and develops in a wonderful way. How beautiful is to know that from the doctrinal point of view our leader, our sovereign shepherd is in heaven!
Ephesians 5:23.
Head of the body (Ephesians 4:15-16).
