Scripture teaches that a wife is to submit to her husband's leadership. This doesn't mean that she is a servant or that the husband should subjugate her. Marriage is about mutual submission through service, but when it comes to authority, a husband is to lead his wife and family.

Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. In order for husbands to do so, they must grasp an understanding of the sacrificial, sanctifying, and satisfying love of Christ.

A healthy marriage is the foundation of every family, especially for children growing up in the home. God's design for marriage is for two people, one man and one woman, to unite as one through a lifelong covenant. Men and women were created to complement and to support one another as they love God and live for Him.

God chose to build a nation out of one single family. When Jesus came into the world, He was born into a family. A healthy family is one of the greatest determining factors in a person's well-being. God had great intentions for families, but they are never meant to replace our love and dependence on Him.

Because Jesus endured the wrath of God on our behalf, we become the righteousness of God. Through faith in Jesus, we become new creations who are reconciled to God. Not only is our relationship with God restored, but He calls us to participate in the work of reconciliation.

Jesus' sinlessness stands in stark contrast with our own sinfulness. Jesus as our high priest, understands our weaknesses yet remains untainted by sin, offering us grace and mercy in our times of need.

As John opens his gospel, he spends a few paragraphs describing Jesus. He is the Word made flesh, the uncreated One, and the light of the world. Specifically, in this passage, we see that Jesus is eternal, having self-existence, and what that means for us.
