Colossians 1:15-20
New International Version (NIV)
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
No other flesh and blood can be the head of the church, the body of Christ. Who could have the power over death and the Devil who is the author of death, except Christ! The Lord Jesus Christ came alive from the dead and put the Devil to public spectacle and eternal shame. Our allegiance and absolute obedience should be to Christ our Lord alone and not to any other flesh or human being on earth. Only the blind would not be able to see this truth because it's hidden to them.
John 14:6
New International Version (NIV)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
