Mediatorial Kingship of Christ Over the Church

'Him' Paul says the Father gave as Head to the Church, and by putting it that way he puts emphasis on the power and authority of Christ as Head. Accenting the pronoun 'him' reaches back to the sweeping power, authority, and exaltation of Christ spelled out in 1:20b-22a and applies it to Christ as Head over the Church. As Head, that is, supreme ruler, Christ exclusively rules his Church and has authority to establish its ministry and govern its practice without interference of the Pope, Bishops, magistrates, or democratically elected church rulers.
