There is no greater vision we can have than "to be conformed to the image of God's Son" (Romans 8:29). Another attribute of Jesus that is a challenge to me is found in Philippians 2:5-8 where it tells us that Jesus Christ, who was very God Himself, "thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
If Jesus Christ, who was God, could have such a spirit of humility and submission, why do we run from it? Why are we stubborn and refuse to submit on some worthless matter, when Christ submitted to the death of the cross for us?
To have this same attitude of Jesus in our marriage brings harmony and unity. And as we yield to this spirit, we are being conformed to the image of His son, which is God's highest purpose for us.
