Eph. 5:21 (NIV) Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Submission in this passage is almost always pushed on the women as is seen in the following verses. However, it is good for us to focus on the ideal of submission in all Christian relationships. Submission's greatest example is that of our Savior who being equal with God, made himself on no reputation and took on the form of a servant and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Jesus did not submit because he was less God, submission is a voluntary act. When we submit our will and our preferences for the benefit of others it shows Christ reverence. Today, I will refuse to be irreverent by not submitting myself for the benefit of others.
