He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. Colossians 1:18
The "He" in this passage is Jesus Christ. He is head, beginning, firstborn, and first in everything. We can lose lots of body parts and still live, but not our head. When we lose our head, all the body parts cease to function and dies. The church is a living body as well. Jesus is the head of that body. In order for the body to live and work, it must be connected and cooperating with the head. Without Jesus, we don't really have a body at all. Stick with Him.
