A godly home is so inestimably valuable; we could not overstate our case. The home is the foundation of every aspect of our lives. If the home is stable, the blessings are innumerable. Make no mistake. The only stable home is one in which Christ is first and foremost in each relationship. If the home is unstable, the effects are devastating. Our text does not just address the home. Paul also speaks to the work environment relationships. In today's society, the relationships are that of employer-employee, but in Paul's day the relationships were more often than not that of master-slave. We would not even dare to compare the slave to today's employee because the situations and positions in society are so radically different. Yet, Paul continues the thought of mutual submission among believers. If the church is to function properly, if the church is to be radically different than the world, it can only be so by Christ's prescription. What did Christ prescribe? He gives us the standard of His own life, ministry, and death. Christ's standard was submission. If you take one truth from this message, I want you to take the following: You must follow Christ's submissive pattern at home and at work.
