David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 12th January 2026
Modern medicine has succeeded in transplanting many critical parts of the human body: liver, kidney, lung, heart, and others. But there has never been a successful transplant of the head, either in humans or animals. For both medical and ethical reasons, replacing one head with another has proved too challenging. The head is the seat of the brain—the control center which directs the movement of the body.
Another head-body union which will never be altered is that between Jesus Christ and the Church. The New Testament uses the analogy of the human body to illustrate the relationship between Christ, the Head, and Christians, the members of the Body (the Church) (1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 5:23-24). Just as the human body responds to directions which flow from the head, so the Church should respond to directions which flow from its Head. As Paul notes in Colossians 1:18, Christ as “the head of the body, the church” should “have the preeminence.”
When you need wisdom, guidance, or strength, turn first to the Head of the Church—and allow Him to have preeminence in your life.
What is this Christ to us?… Is He our head, to fill us with vitality, to inspire and to command?
Alexander MacLaren
