We were all talking about how Jesus Christ was given membership here to recognize his headship and to remind us who is really in charge. In this world, there are people who act like they are accountable by setting up a board or advisors, but it is just for appearance. These people really do what they want to. Even communist nations will hold phony elections. At the same time, whether we have a person or persons to answer to on earth, we are all accountable to God, and have a meeting on God's calendar where we will have to answer for how we conducted ourselves on earth.
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." 1 Corinthians 11:3
In the eyes of people, the buck may stop with them, as head of the house, head of the church, head of a corporation, head of a state or nation, whatever, but the one really in charge is God. Let us always remember that.

That is so true, but it only works when people really believe in and fear God. People today do not fear the Lord like they should. Whether we fear God or we do not, we will all bow down before him and answer to him.

Fear is worship....for example:
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

In this world, we have people that we work for that can give us performance reviews so we know where we are doing good or bad. When it comes to King Jesus, he gives us a book telling us what is expected of us. It is the Holy Bible. This book has been sometimes called a road map to Heaven, or an instruction manual for life. As the Lord's servants, I could also call it an Employee's Handbook. While we may not be called into an office by Jesus for regular updates on how we are performing, He is taking notes, and we are accountable. We will all see that is true when we kneel before King Jesus at the final judgement. We need to always be mindful of this.
