What does it mean that Jesus is the head of the church?

Answered in 1 source

As the head of the church, Jesus directs and sustains His body, ensuring its growth and unity.

Colossians 1:18 teaches that Jesus is the head of the body, the church, signifying His authority and position as the source of life for all believers. Just as a human head governs and gives direction to the body, Christ leads and nurtures the church. This relationship emphasizes the vital connection between Christ and His followers, who draw their strength and purpose from Him. Moreover, this underscores that the church exists to magnify Christ, centered on His glory rather than human achievement.
