If you’re a part of the Calvary Chapel family for any length of time, you know that one of the hallmarks of the fellowship is verse-by-verse teaching through all the books of the Bible. That means when you come across a controversial passage, you’ve got no choice but to dive right in. We have here one of those passages before us.
No doubt about it, the word “submit” has gotten a bad reputation, but it is a word that is front and center in our text today. In fact, this word has been used by Peter in several places. He’s talked about submission of believers to the governing authorities, to cite one example. He’s shared how Christ is a fitting example of submission to God, even when it cost Him dearly. Now he’ll talk about submission of - here it comes - wives to their husbands, among other things. But, if we could simply suspend perhaps improper judgment for long enough, we might be surprised at the unmatched beauty that this concept truly holds, a concept that could dramatically transform not only wives and husbands, but all believers in whatever sphere they may be.
