The Model of Christ’s Love

The Model of Christ’s Love  

Ephesians 5:26-27

 

The husband’s spiritual leadership is most important to the family, it seems plain that the husband’s authority is not limited just to spiritual matters.

As we know, wives are to submit themselves “in everything to their husbands” (v. 24). But, the practical working of wifely submission are never specified in great detail.

Each family possesses a great deal of flexibility to decide how it will function. The husband is the final decision-maker when a couple cannot agree upon a choice between two or more godly options.

This preserves the principle of authority as per the biblical standards and helps ensure that chaos does not rule the home.

It would be at the cross, and the purpose of Christ, His work to unite all things in perfect harmony (Col. 1:19–20). 

Christian husbands, however, are accountable to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and a passionate concern for the wife’s spiritual well-being is essential to this love. 

The scripture reveals that the goal of our Saviour’s affection for His people is that He might present the church fully sanctified and flawlessly beautiful to all creation.

The husband is called to be the spiritual leader of his home, which requires that he take the initiative in family worship, helping his wife and children learn the things of God, and much more.

This should be the primary focus of his leadership doing whatever he can to further the sanctification of his wife and children.

Jesus’ love serves as the husband’s model, he must do all that he can to encourage her sanctification. Jesus’ love serves as the husband’s model, he must do all that he can to encourage her sanctification. 

 

Let us Pray:

Heavenly Father, Just as you loved the church, help us to love our spouse so that the well being is maintained, the relationship is sanctified and flawless. In Jesus name . Amen.
