Renewing of the Mind - 3

CHRIST - The Head Of The Church

Christ is the head of the church. When all the members of the Church have the mind of CHRIST, the body of CHRIST is made whole. Each member takes his/ her rightful place in the Body. Then each member will walk in right relationship with CHRIST and with one another. All selfish motives will be set aside as the Church, the Bride of CHRIST lives for the welfare of the Kingdom of GOD and to glorify CHRIST JESUS.

corona means 'crown'.

The corona virus has a resemblance to a crown when seen under the electron microscope.

Spiritually, crown depicts the head and the mind.
It would therefore be appropriate for us to study about the mind, from the word of GOD.

What is GOD speaking to us through this?



What is the Almighty GOD alerting us to, spiritually, that is towards eternity?

Philippians 2:1-11
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jeremiah 31:33
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

1 Corinthians 2:16
For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

Romans 12:16
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

1 Thessalonians 4:11
that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

Romans 14:5
One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.

Ephesians 4:13-15
... till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
