1 | Greater rank, not greater person? | Eph 5:33 | Robert Nicholson | 65509 | ||
Scrhng: I believe that the topic of headship is very important in understanding the relationship between husband and wife. "...I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God" (1 Cor. 11:3) We know that there is absolutely no inferiority between Christ and God who have different functions in the Godhead and yet are one. Likewise, in the relationship of a husband and wife, individually they have different functions and yet they are one. The idea of headship was revealled before sin entered the world "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Gen 2:24) It is amazing that in this relationship we see in type the relationship between Christ and the church. "In the Lord" refers to a husband and wife who are both saved. I believe that the scriptures support that "in the Lord" we are workers together, that the husband is incomplete without the wife and the wife without the husband, they complement each other. This is found in 1 Cor. 11:11-12 "Nevertheless neither is the man without (independent) of the woman, neither the woman without (independent) the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also of the woman; but all things of God. In the Lord within an ideal relationship a husband and wife should be submissive to God and be willing to accept the unique role in life which God has given them. Just a few thoughts Robert |
