Today, as we begin this series on Marriage and Family, we will begin by looking at one verse which flows into the instructions for Marriage, Family, and Workplace relationships. Ephesians 5:21 says, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” In order to have a successful life, marriage, family, and employment, this is one principle that we must not leave out. Throughout this letter, Paul has referred to Jesus as Lord at least 25 times. The meaning of Lord is “supernatural master over all, ruler, owner of a large estate, or one who exercises authority over.” In other words, Jesus Christ is the head over all and Paul summed this up in Ephesians 1:10 saying, “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:” Let’s think about this verse today and demands on our life. Today’s message will hopefully serve in by teaching us God’s design for unity and harmony in our relationships. |
