Submit...What? | PASTOR JOHN COOK | Ephesians

[@Himmiefan]

Excellent! This is the real meaning of the Ephesian verses. All too often, people read these verses through the lenses of the sinful, fallen world and read obedience and authority where it actually doesn't exist. By doing so, they lift 5:22 and on from 5:21 and even from Chapter 5 in general, which starts with the command to imitate God by loving. These verses are an example of how to live out Christ's command to love one another. There's nothing there about hierarchy and who is the boss; it's only about loving as Christ says to do.
