The Christ is composed of Jesus, the great and mighty head, and 144,000 members.

(Revelation 7:4) Christ Jesus is the head and the church his body.

We ofttimes hear the expression, a body of men with a general at their head.

Of the Christ the Apostle says: "And he [Christ Jesus] is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
