Hey Neighborhood!
Anyone not a fan of the word “submit”? When we come across this word in Scripture, it can make us uncomfortable.
Knowing who we are in Christ should lead us to live as Christ did, and part of that means submitting to one another in reverence to Christ (Eph. 5:21). this flows into every area of our lives and relationships—with family, friends, coworkers, and yes, with our spouses. We belong to Jesus and that shapes how we should live, but what does a marriage that reflects Christ look like?
If you are asking yourself the question, “Do I have to submit?” the answer is yes, because when we know who we are, we know what to do. You get to love, because you’ve been loved, You get to serve , because you’ve been served.
It’s going to be an awesome Sunday. I’m thinking this will be a 2 week message on this passage. Hopefully, my wife Rhonda will join me on stage next week to talk it out a little more!
