Slaves are told to submit to their masters. Wives are told to submit to husbands. The church is told to submit to Christ. We can extend this idea of submission to life today. An employee is to submit to an employer.
Students are to submit to teachers.
A flock is to submit to its shepherd. A people are to submit to its government. Of special interest to us today is that Christians are told to submit to one another. Which means that each of us is to give precedence to others. Each of us is to put everyone else first.
