An example of a man who, “love{s with} sincere, a pure, an ardent, and constant affection, and that notwithstanding the imperfections and failures that she {his wife} is guilty of.”**

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; Eph 5:22-25

 

This is one of the most misunderstood, often flat out rejected, passages of scripture. Some of the biggest spiritual battles are fought over these two little words, “Wives, submit.” And every time a woman rejects them, the devil wins a victory.  Because it is not about us.

 

This passage holds the key to life.

Won’t you take some time, today, to read these scriptures, in context with an open heart and an open mind?

Paul’s exhortation does not begin with v. 22. Read what comes before.

Read what comes after.

Ask God to speak to your heart. To reveal the mystery.

And, most importantly, ask Him to give you the desire

to obey.

 

Blessings,

**taken from Matthew Henry’s commentary on Ephesians 5:25
