Commentary on Ephesians 1:22

Theological / Devotional

Under his feet. See on 1 Cor. 15:24-28.

Head over all things. This relationship implies more than rulership. Headship, as used in this epistle, includes the idea of vital union and relationship (Eph. 4:15, 16; Col. 2:19). The head is the active center of all the operations of the body. Paul is emphasizing the idea of unity, well illustrated in the close relationship that exists between the head and the body.
