Though, behind the command, is a consciousness. Within the consciousness is a mind. Elsewhere Paul would say, ““For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16, ESV). Finishing verse 18: “He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent” (ESV). So Christ, as we know by now, is the beginning of the church. Indeed, he establishes the church, and then ascends back to Heaven, where he will receive each one of us individually as we complete our time in this life and move on to eternity. He is the beginning of it because his life, as well as our own lives, continue after this life is completed. It’s not that once this life is over we ascend into some mystical cloudy state of awareness where we float around as random consciousness or something like that, with no meaning and no aim. Rather, really, in reality, life continues after this one, with the same kind of consciousness, though the external surroundings are certainly different.
