Ephesians 1:22-23
v. 22: God has put all things under his feet and made Him head over all things to the church (Ephesians 1:22 a). Jesus rules over everything for the sake of His church. This is a gift both to Christ as Mediator and to the church itself, which benefits from His power and care. v. 23: The church is called his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:23 b). Christ fills the church with His Spirit and blessings, and the church is His body on earth. Just as a king is not complete without his kingdom, Christ as Mediator is not complete without the church. This truth shows the special relationship between Jesus and His people.
