Spiritual Headship

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 
1 Cor 11:3

In 1 Corinthians Paul lays our a spiritual principle:  God is head over Jesus, Jesus is head over man, and man is head over woman.  OK, we all understand hierarchy – we have a boss, or we are the boss…  but often our view is tainted. We think of our boss as someone to avoid, or someone we try an make ourselves look good to. We think of ourselves as the boss from a perspective of “what I get to do,” or “what’s in it for me.”

In reality – the position, from God’s perspective, is so much more. From God’s perspective, the “head” is one who should look out for the those that he oversees.  Make sure they are taken care of – make sure they are trained - make sure that they are successful.  It is the only way that an organization will be truly successful.

Why do I say all this?  Because as men, I want you to see your role as the spiritual head as so much more than a title or something you pull out in an argument with your wife! As the spiritual head, you need to understand how God has defined your role, what authority you have, and what responsibilities come with the title.
