It is another thing entirely to live under Christ\u2019s lordship when two sinners share a home, a bed, a bank account, disagreements and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why Paul\u2019s teaching on marriage in Colossians 3:18\u201319 is so important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul is showing us what the pre-eminence of Christ looks like in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the wife, submission is not a statement of inferiority. Husband and wife are equally created in God\u2019s image, yet God designed them with complementary roles. Sin corrupted those roles, producing resistance and control in the wife and domination and harshness in the husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Christ changes everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Christian wife has died with Christ and has been raised to new life. She is no longer enslaved to the sinful desire for control. She is free to trust the wisdom and goodness of God&#8217;s design and willingly place herself under her husband&#8217;s leadership\u2014except where following her husband would require disobedience to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there is something beautiful about such submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It says, \u201cI trust my Creator. I believe his design is good. I believe that living according to his wisdom is better than living according to my own desires.\u201d Her submission is not weakness. It is an expression of faith, love and Christ-like humility. As she submits in the Lord, the beauty of Christ\u2019s own humble obedience shines through her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The husband, meanwhile, is commanded to love his wife. Biblical headship is not domination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headship accepts responsibility; domination demands control.<br>Headship serves; domination uses.<br>Headship sacrifices; domination exploits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Christian husband is called to love his wife \u201cas Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her\u201d (Ephesians 5:25). His question is not, \u201cHow much authority do I have?\u201d but, \u201cHow can I sacrificially love and serve the woman God has entrusted to me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there is beauty in this love too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A husband\u2019s sacrificial love displays the love of Christ\u2014the eternal Son who became a servant, the King who washed his disciples\u2019 feet, and the Saviour who gave himself for his bride. As a husband loves his wife in this way, something of the beauty of Jesus becomes visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what does a God-glorifying marriage look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not two perfect people. It is two redeemed sinners being transformed by Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wife asks, <strong>\u201cIs Christ pre-eminent in me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The husband asks, <strong>\u201cIs Christ pre-eminent in me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as submission and sacrificial love increasingly mark their marriage, <strong>the beauty of Christ is put on display.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beauty of submission and love made possible in Christ It is relatively easy to preach and sing about the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ.
