"His Head"

"His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven." (S.O.S. 5:11)

  Enough of me and what's in my head; let me start by asking for forgiveness, as I have already asked of Him, for doubting that He is ultimately the One and Only One that has all of our affairs in order. Other than that, we must be about our Father's business, which is about saving souls! Reconciliation, is what this is all about: To reconcile those that are lost to the One that has made them and is in charge of their soul! If we can only just stick to our part, and stop trying to manage His! Do we understand what we are looking for? Ask, Seek, Knock, is about being a vessel, not a weapon; we are to be filled with His Spirit, that we might show forth the praise of Him, regardless of what might be going on around us. 

  Matthew Henry compares these ten detailed descriptions to the likeness given by John in Revelation 1:13 and onward; onward meaning the likeness of each presentation, including, "The Lamb as it had been slain," from Revelation 4:6. And yes, Jesus is God! There is absolutely no way that can be denied; if, that is, you are correctly interpreting the Scriptures. With that, I would like to see if the matter before us is going to make that much of a difference. You either believe or you don't; there is no way to be neutral in this matter! 

  First and foremost is the head, meaning, His Head: a representation of the highest and supreme order, as in, He who holds First Place above everything else! Paul puts this into proper perspective in Colossians 1:15-18, saying, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist: 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 preeminence." 

  If that word, "preeminence," seems rather superior, it actually goes far beyond that in the context of what Paul is trying to get across; because this standing is speaking about predominance, which is the possession or exertion of control of power, established way before it was demonstrated on earth! This is by far the most convincing example of Jesus being above all and holding everything together. If that is not the description of God, then what else could He be? 

  Nevertheless, it is not up to me to convince anyone; the Holy Spirit is the One that is charge of that: only God can change a person's heart. Which reminds me: When we pray for those who need to be turned, is it the head or the heart that needs the turning? "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!" I haven't given up yet...

"For if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart the God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
