Many today believe that Christ being the Head of His Body the Church is something that came about during the NT era following his death, burial and resurrection. Thats a mistake because Christ before Creation was the Head of His Body the Church. Col 1:14-18
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18And 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.
Notice the phrase : "who is the beginning"
This agrees with the Apostle John in his Gospel Jn 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him [as stated in Col 1:16]; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life/lives; and the life was the light of men.
The Life that was in Him is the Life of His Body the Church
The world was Created/Made by Christ as the Head of His Body the Church !
