To ignite higher thoughts about Christ as the glorious, triumphant Head of the church, we offer this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster: Christ the Head of the Church. Charles Spurgeon introduces us to this expansive, magnificent subject revealing that Christ represents every member of His body and is the source of spiritual life for every member. John Gill helps us to understand the Jesus’ headship is covenantal and that all the blessings of spiritual and eternal life flow from it. The French Huguenot Jean Daillé concisely explains the believer’s union with Christ and how our Lord rules by directing and guiding us and infusing us with the power of the Holy Spirit. It takes a little work to read Daillé, but he is worth the effort. In a more contemporary style, Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley deliver a rich theology of Christ’s headship and love for His body. How may we properly understand the Head and body relationship of Christ and His church? D. M. Lloyd-Jones offers a remarkable exposition of Christ as the source and center of His body’s power, as well as an overview of what true unity in Christ’s body is. On the other hand, Thomas Manton focuses on the nature of Christ’s body. Beeke and Smalley then discuss that monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy all play a part in Christ’s rule as Head. Spurgeon warns us that Christ alone determines the doctrine for His church—not men, not even famous men. Richard Barcellos gives us a profound look at Christ’s headship as it relates to the Old and New Testaments. Then, Manton gives a helpful article that explains why we need Christ as our Head. Finally, as we close out this issue of the FGB, Spurgeon presses our hearts to answer a pointed question: Is Christ your Head?
