CULTIVATE AND NOURISH OUR INNER BEAUTY
1 Peter 3: 1-12
In verses 1-7, the apostle describes the duties of husbands and
wives one to another, beginning with the duty of the wife. Wives, should be
submissive to their husbands. Even if, in the worldly terms, they are not the
bread provider, or smarter enough to take the upper hand in the family, they
are the ones appointed by God as the head of the family. His wife and children
should be submissive to his authority (like the church submits itself to Jesus,
her head - Ephesians 5:23).
Likewise the husbands should take care of their wives with
understanding & honour, as they are the co-heirs of the grace of life.
To one another – we should love our fellow beings with compassion,
tender heart and with courteousness. Don’t return evil for evil or insult for insult,
anyone can do that. On the contrary, BLESS
the ones who do harm to you, as we are called for that. Refrain our tongues
from evil and our lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good. Seek
peace and follow it.
Because the eyes of the Lord is on the righteous ones and His ears
are open to their prayers.
Be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ.
