In our next episode, Jonah and Patrick lead us towards a new understanding of a particularly challenging portion of Paul’s letter (Eph 5:22-33). Paul describes a re-ordering of the universe through Christ based on submission (huppotassō, Greek). We are each invited, out of our own freedom and dignity, to follow the True Human Being, one who possesses a wisdom and heart wider and deeper than our own. How does our growing union with Christ Jesus begin to transform our relationships with each other? Can we walk with each other in love, “as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Eph 5:2)? Are we able to submit?
