In Ephesians 5, as the Bible tells us to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ, wives are told to submit themselves to their husbands, "as to the Lord." In today's message, Pastor John shows how for both husbands and wives, our own hopes, dreams and desires can become expectations that we demand from our spouse. But our Biblical pattern is to think of our spouse's needs above our own. As we consider the wife's call to Biblical submission, we are reminded that Christ humbled himself and became obedient, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:5-8).
