Submit
(originally posted on Sublimidad)
Submission does not seem to be a popular concept these days. Imagine walking into church and hearing the preacher get up and say, “today we’re going to talk about submission”. What are you thinking? If you’re like me you might be thinking, “is it too late to get out of here? what would happen if I yelled ‘bomb’ or ‘fire’ right now…”
I don’t know whether it’s because we have issues with authority or whether we just see ourselves as the only one deserving to have authority but there is something in most of us that resists the opportunity to submit. To have another’s will or “mission” imposed on us. It’s almost unbearable.
And yet, submission is at the very core of what it means to be a Christian. And not only to God, but also to people. Let’s all shake our fists at the sky…
