day no. 14,235: crown the Head and the whole body shares the honour

"Crown the Head and the whole body shares the honour"  - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

Ephesians 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, His body, and is Himself its Savior.

When Jesus is honored, we are honored if we are in Him. When the Head receives its crown, the hands do not complain. Crowns are for heads. The hands are blessed when the head carries the weight of the crown for the rest of the body. The hands are honored as part of the body whose Head is crowned.
