Colossians 3 - Part 35 - Husbands, Do Not be Embittered

In the preceding verses we have looked at our responsibility to live godly lives by manifesting compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, bearing with each other and forgiving each other and showing love to each other. These things are supremely necessary in our own homes and thus these former verses set the stage for life in the Christian home as it should be lived. This is the beginning of a series of messages on what the godly husband and wife relationship looks like. Most importantly, God has designed marriage as a picture of Jesus Christ and His body which is the church. Here we look at the responsibility of the husband to always love his wife and some of what that involves. Regardless of his wife’s behavior, he is never to be embittered against her!
