INTRODUCTION: Read Eph. 5:22<\/p>\n
1. Many in the world scorn the notion of a Patriarchal society, along with the idea of a wife submitting to her husband.<\/p>\n
2. There is no doubt, though, that the Lord teaches that a Christian wife is to be in submission to her husband.<\/p>\n
3. The Bible is saturated with teaching about submission.<\/p>\n
1) To father and mother, Eph. 6:1-3.<\/p>\n
2) To authorities, Rom. 13:1-7.<\/p>\n
3) To God, James 4:7.<\/p>\n
4) To elders, 1 Pet. 5:5.<\/p>\n
4. Submission in these cases is much less of an issue.<\/p>\n
1) Because of power to require us to submit.<\/p>\n
2) Because of age and aura of authority.<\/p>\n
3) Because of actual superiority.<\/p>\n
5. The submissive wife becomes an example, not just to wives, but to us all.<\/p>\n
1) Husband has no authority to make her submit, either by the Bible or the law.<\/p>\n
2) She is likely equal in mental ability.<\/p>\n
3) Likely equal socially.<\/p>\n
4) Sam Colt made us all equal physically, more or less.<\/p>\n
5) She submits because of devotion. For the Christian wife first devotion to her God, then devotion to her husband. She makes herself lowly, yet exalted.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n
1. She is devoted when the husband is immature, when money is short, when the kids are a bit out of control.<\/p>\n
2. 1 Cor. 15:58.<\/p>\n
1. When husband and wife can’t agree, someone must give and go with the other.<\/p>\n
2. Don’t agree with elders?, parents?, the law?, the Lord?<\/p>\n
3. Look to the Christian wife and her example of faithfulness at the crossroads.<\/p>\n
4. Matt. 8:9ff.<\/p>\n
1. When husband orders wife against her conscience.<\/p>\n
2. She can be submissive and still when something’s morally wrong she can say…(Acts 5:29).<\/p>\n
3. So must we when government or parents, or elders command the immoral.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
1. Those women who understand that Biblical submission is not degrading or demeaning have the opportunity to become examples to young and old, male and female.<\/p>\n
2. They are an object lesson of what Peter means: 1 Pet. 5:6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
