Speaking on Submission to a Few Hundred Collegiates
Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to speak on submission from Colossians 3:18-4:1 to a few hundred college students at the University of Wisconsin. Let’s just say it’s not an easy text and I would have loved to follow it up with a Q/A session with my beautiful wife.
Key points:
1. Jesus is Lord. We submit to him as Creator, Sustainer, and King.
2. Jesus submitted to God’s plan and gave His life so that we could be reconciled to God.
3. You cannot obey Jesus and ignore human authority structures.
4. Loving leadership and joyful submission “play act” the gospel of Jesus loving, sacrificial leadership and our joyful submission.
(And notice the boos I got when a bunch of Badgers found out they had to listen to a Spartan for a half hour.)
