The headship of Christ is also highly instructive in revealing the nature of the Body of Christ. How does Christ as Head interact with His Body? Is it a physical interaction or a spiritual one? Is Christ physically present with His Body? The physical body of Christ is in Heaven, with no organic connection to the rest of the Body. He leads it through spiritual influence, not through physical means. Describing the Body of Christ as a physical entity, while leaving Christ as a spiritual Head, can only cause confusion regarding how the two relate.
