But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything
Just as a church functions well when there is a chain of leadership, so does the home
Just as Christ exhorts us to use our gifts for the building up of the local church so that others -both inside and outside of those local congregations- will know and experience God’s abundant loving salvation, it is the role of husbands to build up their wives so that they can be all whom God has designed.
And, yet, struggle with this on so many levels.
And this is where we find ourselves in this verse: imperfectly forgiven individuals whom God loves enough to command our weak and fallible natures to submit our lives to Him
So, then, let’s own each power struggle we get involved and learn to give each other grace as we lay our burdens at the foot of the cross.
