Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increasing with the increase of God." — Colossians 2:19 (ASV)
Husbands love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Oh, there are some spirits that are very bitter. A little thing puts them out, and they would take delight in a taunt which grieves the spirit. I pity the poor woman who has such bitterness where she ought to have sweetness; yet there are some such husbands.
And not holding the Head,
That is the point: these people get away from the Deity of Christ, they get away from the atoning blood, they get away from glorifying him who alone is the Truth.
From which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increased with the increase of God.
Take away the head, and there is death; everything is out of order then. If the Head is denied, if any doctrine is taught which is contrary to the glory of Christ, you have killed the body, however much you may pretend to be increasing and feeding it.
