Homily for October 27, 2020
I get the sense that many preachers avoid talking about this passage of Ephesians, for the focus on wives being subordinate to their husbands. But, Paul is making much larger claims than simply subordination. All too often, the command to husbands is not emphasized. They are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. And that is a total, other-centered love that is awesome indeed.
