以弗所書五章21-28節
神的小僕人
經文:
21 又當存敬畏基督的心,彼此順服。
22 你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。
23 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;
24 教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。
25 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。
26 要用水藉着道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔,
27 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,
28 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。
我們彼此順服是因為我們順服上帝。
這段經文保羅繼續告訴我們,順服上帝就會帶出彼此順服的操練。
禱告:
親愛的主耶穌,教導我們彼此順服的功課。
Ephesians 5:21-28
When we submit to God, we submit to one another. Submitting to one another is a hard lesson for modern people. Most of us may think that submission is losing, giving up rights and being weak. It is true for Christ submitted to God and died for us on the cross. Yet He wins so many souls for His submission and set an example for us.
Paul continued to teach us submission among one another. Husband and wife relationship with submission implies husband loving wife and wife submitting to him. Likewise are other relationships which involve love, giving up rights, blessing others.
What is our lesson of submission today? Submission in the Lord is not losing but love.
