That turns out to be hugely significant, as the apostle Paul observes in 1 Corinthians 11:3: ‘Now I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ In other words, the shape of the Father-Son relationship (the headship) begins a gracious cascade, like a waterfall of love: as the Father is the lover and the head of the Son, so the Son goes out to be the lover and the head of the church.
