       This invariably would mean that the love we as good people, as obedient people, as Christ followers, the love we emanate—also contributes to the world holding together. In other words, the love we display toward others has a major positive impact in the unseen realm. Remember, Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another”(John 13:35, ESV). Verse 18: “And he is the head of the body, the church.” Familiar to us by now is the biblical metaphor of the church as a physical, human body. It’s used a lot, and specifically in this instance, is the fact that Christ is noted as the head of this physical body. It may be asked, and it seems like the logical thing to do, as to what a head does? What is meant is what does it do speaking in terms of the human body? There are a variety of observations we could make, and one of those is that the head of the body commands, through signals, what the body is supposed to do.
