Leaders in the Home!
By: Robert A. Searles
Christian husbands, you ought to assume full leadership of your
home. All decisions should finally rest upon you as the head of your
household as God has ordained it, and you ought to pray that God will
give you wisdom in making those decisions, because you will be held
responsible to God for what becomes of your wife and family spiritually
as well as physically. You ought to love your wife even as Christ loved
the church and gave himself for it.
As the church is the body of Christ on earth, so your wife is
part of yourself. When she hurts, you ought to hurt. Her concerns ought
to be your concerns. Her spiritual and physical welfare ought to be your
chief concern next to loving and serving God.
The one who walks beside you as your life companion; the one
who sits at your table; the one who makes your home comfortable and
cheerful for you; The one who sleeps in your bed, raises your children,
and nurses you when you are sick is a precious gift from God your Father
and ought to be honored and treasured as such.
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the
Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the
church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands
in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved
the church , and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse
it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such
thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to
love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth
himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and
cherishes it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his
body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two
shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning
Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
her husband." Ephesians 5:22-33.
