INTRODUCTION:
The humble submission commanded of wives is complemented by the exhortation to husbands to exercise humble and gentle authority.
A husband’s leadership of his wife is meant to be a picture of Christ’s sacrificial lordship over us, driven by selfless love, full of grace, and aimed squarely at another’s benefit and joy.
Christ himself, the eternal Lord of the universe, is “gentle and lowly in heart.”
).
Christian husbands are called to this same heart.
The word used to describe the “honor” they are to show their wives () is from the same root as the word used to describe the “honor” emperors are to be afforded (cf.
2: 17).
Christian husbands are called to this same heart.
Therefore, the focus of our message is that a gospel-centered husband is revealed by the way in which he treats his wife.
There are three characteristics in this passage that reveal whether or not you are a indeed this kind of husband this morning:

1. HE UNDERSTANDS HIS WIFE (7)
…live with your wives in an understanding way...
A.
The Greek word gnosis is used here
It means knowledge that is gained by experience
This literally has the idea of learning your wife
This is something that needs to start immediately…even before marriage
Learning your wife is also something that is on-going
2. HE HONORS HIS WIFE (7)
…showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel...
The word used to describe the “honor” they are to show their wives is from the same root as the word used to describe the “honor” emperors are to be afforded.
“Weaker” means “to be without strength.”
“vessel” is the idea of “a tool that can be utilized.”
The Point: The main job for a husband is to help perfect his wife and help mold her to be a vessel that can be used of God.
Men and women were not created equal by God
Each was created for a purposes for which God made them
The woman is made to be dependent upon her husband.
She is weaker physically and emotionally.
Ladies, this is ok for you to admit
God gives grace to woman that have unbelieving husbands or husbands that are not walking with the Lord.
But the creative order remains.
The Point: the woman was created to be a helpmeet for her husband.
She was not meant to lead or to be the point person in a family.
Yet, because of the curse, we see these roles reversed far too often in homes!
Eph 5:35-
3. HE WALKS WITH GOD (7)
…so that your prayers may not be hindered.
He recognizes how God views his wife (as being heirs with us of the grace of God)
He recognizes that his wife is not inferior to God or in his life
He treats her as Christ treats the Church
He understands that not doing so will result in his not being right with God
CONCLUSION:
(Story of Wayne VanGelderen Sr. and his wife with cancer)
The question to consider today....men, are you a gospel-centered husband?
