Haskctt Perquimans County Tax Collector 415-22-295676 Sunday School Lesson A NEW PATTERN OF LIFE . '(Ephesians 5:21 to 6:4) Someone has said that "to Adam paradise was home to the good among his descendants, home is paradise. " Goethe -said, VHe is happiest be he kind or peasant, who finds peace in his home." . .-v- : , -' ' , : ' the BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK "Why does the Bible speak so strongly against wealthy. . Is it wrong to own a lot of material things. .V . ,'; '.. ' ANSWER - The Bible speaks against wealthy only where wealth disrupts one's relationship or fellowship with God. God is The.New Testament presents a new pattern for living in concerned about everything that keeps people from trusting the home. Accord is Needed, Ephesians 5:21-24 There is much discord in many families of our world today. There is discord between husbands and wives; be tween parents and children, between masters and servants. What a difference it would make if serious attention could be given to the instructions in this lesson. , This passage of Scripture calls for mutual submission out of severance for Christ. Wives are called upon to be sub missive to their husbands. According to the Apostle Paul, this was a duty they owed Christ. "To be in subjection" was a military term describing the proper attitude of one who was subordinate to another of higher rank. It literally meant "to liv up under." Paul saw this as the Christian du ty of the wife to her husband. . If there is to be order in the home as in the church, school, or government, there must be authority and responsibility. Someone must make the final decisions and take the ultimate responsibility. This may appear harsh and unfair at the first look, but to follow through with the rest of the passage is to see more clearly. The authority spoken of here is of the nature of Christ and his church. Would any wife of ject to being sub ject to her husband if he gave her the same consideration Christ gives His church . . J Affection is Essential, Ephesians 5: 25-33 This is no lop-sided matter. If the wife has a duty to her husband and she does so does the husband have a duty to his wife. Husbands are to "keep on loving" their wives. This is to be a habit on the part of the husbands. The hus band should show affection toward the wife God has given him. The analogy of Christ's relationship to His church is repeated in this passage. Christ loved the church is such a way that He put the in terests of the church before his own interests. Husbands should so love their wives. Christ cherished the church. He gave himself up for the church. He set the church apart and made it holy. He gave spiritual cleansing to the church. He has given himself to the preparation of the bride. Every "spot" of impurity must be removed. Every "wrinkle" of decay must be corrected. Husbands are to love their wives even as they love their own bodies. Any husband who loves his wife to that extent is not likely to be troubled with a wife who resents her status! Admonition Given, Ephesians 6: 1-4 The responsibility of children is obedience to their parents. They are admonished to "keep on obeying" or "make a habit of obeying" their parents. This obedience is to be "in the Lord." This means that this is a Christian responsibility. Children who are believers in Christ ought to demonstrate their faith by being obedient to their parents. Fathers and mothers are to be honored and respected. This came as a direct command of God. It also carries with it a promise of a full and blessed life on the earth as well as in heaven. Fathers must take care that they do not discourage their children. This passage calls for sane and serious dealing with children. Many children and young people are crying out for 'love and tender care from overworked, un concerned, unthinking parents of our day. These new pat terns of living would contribute greatly to the eternal well being of our world. His Son as Savior and Lord.
