About this listen
“It’s Complicated - Family as a Means of Grace” - Part 3
This week we’re looking at the controversial text from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians 5 on submission.
Paul begins with traditional hierarchical family codes from the culture of his day, but he doesn’t leave them there. In fact, he challenges the traditional power structure by declaring that those in power and authority should submit to those who are weaker in their social system as much as the weaker party is expected to submit to them. It is a call for mutual submission and serving one another as Christ served us and gave himself as a sacrifice.
May we likewise lay aside out sense of authority and privilege for the sake of Christ and become servants of all.
