Ephesians 1:22
And hath put all [things] under his feet. All power was given
into his hands when he was raised from the dead (Matthew 28:18). He is
the rightful ruler of all.
And gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church. He
was, when raised from the dead (Ephesians 1:20), exalted to be the ruler
of all things (Acts 2:33 5:31 Php 2:9) and made the Head of the church
(Ephesians 5:23 Col 1:18); not merely its ruler, but the Head of the Body,
which derives its life from the Head. Compare 1 Corinthians 10:17 12:27.
Note that this exaltation is after the cross and the resurrection,
definitely showing that Christ's church was not organized until after
our Lord's suffering.
