The Kingdom:  A King and His Subjects

In this world today, we sometimes bristle at the idea of being subject to rulers or authorities, or to other people.  The concept of a kingdom is that you have a king or a ruler; and then those who subject themselves to the king's rule...sometimes referred to as "the subjects" or servants, or the ones in submission to the king.

Let's look at the pattern that Jesus set out for His church.

But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:24 (NAS)

Question:

According to Ephesians 5:24, all those in Jesus' church are subject to, or submit to whom?

Jesus Christ No One An Earthly Head


Other Translations - Ephesians 5:24:

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. (NIV)

Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. (NKJ)

But as the church is subject to Christ, so (let) the wives also (be) to their husbands in everything. (ASV)

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. (KJV)
