1 Corinthians 11:2-16
1) What does this passage teach us about men, women, and marriage—and what does it not teach us?
2) How does Jesus model for us a different way of relating to each other as husbands and wives and men and women?
Jesus in his servant authority, dying in order to bring his bride to spotless purity (Ephesians 5:22-33), has redefined authority and has demanded that his followers do the same (Matthew 23:11; John 13:13-17).
Kathy Keller
We are made in the image of God as male and female. Somehow gender reflects something about God. A man reflects something about God’s character that is different from a woman and vice versa.
Dan Allender
Whether we are husband or wife, we are not to live for ourselves but for the other. And that is the hardest yet single most important function of being a husband or a wife in marriage.”
Timothy Keller
