Submission Does Not Mean Inferiority

“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.”

EPHESIANS 5:22

July 28, 2023

Ponder This

Submission to authority does not mean inferiority. Think of some different examples. Is a church member inferior to me because I’m the pastor? Of course not. Do you think I’m inferior to a policeman because I stop when he says stop and go when he says go? Of course not. Do you think a child is inferior to his parents because that child obeys his parents? Of course not. Here’s the capstone. Do you think God the Son is inferior to God the Father? No, of course not. If you know anything about Christian theology you know the basic prime tenant of our faith is the full deity of Jesus Christ, co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father. And yet the Bible says the head of Christ is God the Father. Jesus was submissive. He “humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8). Submission does not mean inferiority.
