We have been considering the New Halakah that is outlined in Ephesians. In what appears be a change of direction, Paul describes how we relate to people we are in constant contact with. We see this in Ephesians 5:22-6:9 – Where 6 types of relationships are described. Our relationships with our:
Wives – Ephesians 5:22-24, Husbands – Ephesians 5:25-33, Children – Ephesians 6:1-3, Fathers – Ephesians 6:4, Servants – Ephesians 6:5-8, Masters – Ephesians 6:9.
Relationships are a key element in the Kingdom of God. God is in an eternal relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That relationship is functional, blessed and fruitful. We were created to reflect that to the world.
In Chapter 3 we learned about the Wisdom of God which is reflected in key relationships. Foundationally the Assembly of God’s people -. Jews and Gentiles brought together as one. But God’s wisdom in revealed to the world in our personal relationships. It is through our relationships that we reflect the love of God to the world.
Through marriage we reflect the image of God. “In His image He created them Male and Female”. It is through our children that we reproduce after our own kind and through them come in contact with others. It is through our relationships that we reflect the Wisdom and love of God.
Our relationships reflect the dynamics of the New Covenant: Submission, love, sacrifice, obedience, and honesty. By example we demonstrate in our relationships what is God’s will, and prepare others to be receptive to the Messiah!
Our walk is reflected in these relationships: Let’s consider our walk in Marriage: Wives in Ephesians 5:22-24. Wives are to submit to their husbands in everything…Just as they are to submit to the Lord. Just as the church is to submit to Messiah. So wives are called to submit to their husband. The reason: the husband is head of the wife, just as Messiah is head of the church. As there is lines of authority in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so too in the family.
In the family, it is God’s Will that the husband be the head of the wife, and that parents be over their children. Wives have the opportunity to demonstrate the wisdom and value of an important principle: submission. Jesus taught by both word and example the importance of submission, washing the disciples feet. We all are to submit in one way or another and be subject to one another in the fear of Messiah – Ephesians 5:21. Through their submission, wives prove that God’s will is best.
The walk of husbands Ephesians 5:25-30. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Messiah also does the church. The command “ Husbands, love your wives”, continues the mutual submission mentioned in Ephesians 5:21. “And be subject to one another in the fear of Messiah.”
The husband who submits to the Lord by being filled with His Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Is able to love his wife with the love Yeshua has for His own bride, the church. The world’s love is object oriented based on personal appeal. It is fickle, as soon as it loses that appeal the love it was based on disappears.
God loves us because it is His nature to love not bec[...]
