Marriage and Flourishing

July 12, 2020

Key Text: Colossians 3:18-19

Summary: In our passage this week, Paul turns our attention from the spiritual family (3:1–17) to the physical, household family (3:18–4:1). Paul has described how we change — put off the old self and put on the new self — and now addresses specific relationships and roles within a home. Wives are to submit to their husbands. Husbands are to love their wives. Children are to obey their parents. Ephesians 5:22–6:9 is the longer exposition of these same household roles and their countercultural commands. But as we examine the whole of Scripture, we discover the Lordship of Christ is what governs both the universe and our homes.
