You may have heard the expression “mind your
manners” or perhaps “mind your step”.
Both have the connotation that you need to pay careful attention to
something.
I recently saw an object hanging from a
ceiling. The object was hanging down far
enough that a person of average height could hit their head on it. Taped to the object was a sign that
read: “Mind Your Head”.
I think the intent was that people walking
by the object would pay careful attention so that they wouldn’t hit their head
on it. The phrase got me thinking about another
head that we need to mind….
“And He put all things in
subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church…”
(Eph 1:22)
“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are
to grow up in every way into Him who is the Head, into Christ…” (Eph 4:15)
“And he is the head of the body,
the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in
everything he might be preeminent…” (Col 1:18)
Should we “mind this Head”? Well, let’s mind our words by breaking it
down phrase by phrase…
All
things are in subjection to Him;
He is
Head over all things;
We
are to grow up in every way into Him;
He is
the head of the church;
He is
the beginning;
He is
the first born from the dead;
In
every thing, He is to be preeminent.
When we mind our p’s and q’s, that is, when
pay attention to the phrases, it does seem wise to “mind our Head” by paying attention
to Jesus!
