In our families, it is not enough that there is love. We need to rightly love, to love in a way that leads to blessings for those we seek to love. Self-centered thinking and selfish acts break trust. If you don't trust someone, you won't really be willing to follow their lead.

In Jesus, we see perfect, self-sacrificial love. In love, he gave his life up, so that we might be holy and blameless. His love for us shapes the way we love our spouse, our children, and our parents.

Key thought: The wise submit to God; Christians submit to one another.

Key thought: For us and for our salvation, Christ submitted to the cross.
