Husbands and Wives
Scripture
Passage: Ephesians
5:21-28
The answer here lies in verse 21. This simple sentence
sets the tone for all that follows. We are to submit
to others because of our reverence for Christ. In other
words, in any human relationship: husband and wife, child and
parent, employer and employee, a third person is involved -
Christ Himself. Paul asks us to conduct those relationships
in the light of the Spirit of Christ.
Questions:
1. Why are we to submit to one another?
We are to submit to
one another out of reverence for Christ.
2. What are wives to
do to their husbands?
Submit to them as to the Lord.
3. How are husbands to treat
their wives?
Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved
the church and gave Himself up for her.
Memory verse: Ephesians
5:21
And further, you will submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (NLT)
