4. CHRIST HAS BEEN MADE HEAD OVER ALL THINGS FOR THE CHURCH.

That is to say, that everything is subject to Christ, and that for

the Church's sake. Eph. 1:22 (R. V.)--"And he put all things in

subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things

to the church." Christ is the fullness of the Father for the Church

(Col. 1:19; 2:9, 10). Christ bestows the Holy Spirit upon the

Church (Acts 2:33-36; John 7:37-39). He receives for, and bestows

upon the Church spiritual gifts (Eph. 4:8-12).
