Scripture: Ephesians 5:32-33
The relationship between husband and wife reflects the mystery of Christ and His church. Men receive the assignment of sowing acceptance as blamelessness in the women. Christ died to make the church blameless even when blame can be seen! The job for us is to sow blamelessness into women by choice as an act of will when it is not deserved following the example of Jesus. The women respond in obedience by a choice again following the example of Christ choosing to respect the man in his assignment because Christ earns respect for His sacrifice. Birthing the fear of the Lord enables both to walk in victory. The mystery of Christ and the church has yet to unfold in its fullness but is assigned to our generation. Ephesians 5:33 states, Let the wife see she respects her husband. Pho-beo- is the Greek word translated respect. But the fear of the Lord is the true concept. When the wife sows respect it is a death blow to feminism. When the husband sows blamelessness it is a death blow to chauvinism. The fruit is the fear of the Lord restored to the church.
