Bible Verses

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Ephesians 5:23

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21

My Thoughts

Our pastor this weekend equated our Rest in Christ to Freedom. When we enter into the rest of God, as listed in the 10 commandments, it is not indicating a simple afternoon nap. It is listed next to murder and adultery and robber and carries the weight of something life altering, which is freedom from the slavery of idols. No longer do we have to toil in our lives like the pagan, but we work for God and he provides. No longer must we make sure our good list outweighs our bad list because He as Judge and Counselor has taken it upon himself to clear our guilty name with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, in time, for all eternity.

Love,
Dad
