The concept of the Headship of Christ refers to Jesus' supreme authority and dominion over all creation, as well as his role as the head of the church, which is his body (Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18). This doctrine is rooted in the Bible, where Christ is described as the one who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). As the head of the church, Christ guides, directs, and nourishes his people, providing for their spiritual growth and well-being, as expressed in Psalms 23:1, where David declares, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." Through his headship, Christ also unites believers into a single, unified body, with himself as the source of their life, wisdom, and strength (1 Corinthians 11:3).
