Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? (Psalm 77:13)
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Jesus Christ is our head - to Him we have to go in every direction

In Colossians 1:18, Paul assigns Jesus Christ the role of head of the Church. This means that Jesus is the one who directs and gives instructions to the Church, and the Church must look to Him for guidance. Just as the Holy Spirit guides us towards truth, Jesus is the one who directs the Church. We must always look towards Jesus and give Him glory, as He is the center of our meditations and the source of power in our lives. By fixing our eyes on Jesus, we are energized and vitalized. Jesus Christ is not only the head of the Church, but also the head of our own lives. Read more...

Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : What a beautiful word! I believe that no Christian who doesn't have the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior is lost. Because He Himself told the followers who walked with Him: "I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Me." And also when Philip asks, "Show us the Father and it will be enough for us," the Lord Jesus answers, "So long have I been with you? And you have not known Me." Philip said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father." That is why our Lord Jesus Christ must be the Lord of our lives.

This highlights the importance of having Jesus Christ as the center of our lives and recognizing His lordship. Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional highlights that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, and as you mention, He must also be the Lord of our lives. May we follow Jesus Christ as our guide and Savior, recognizing His authority at all times. May God bless you, Rodolfo Manuel. Thank you for sharing your faith and your love for Jesus Christ! 🙏
