Gospel and Epistles 5 Interpretations (Ephess. Philip. Coloss.)

by St Theophan The Recluse of Vysha

Christ is the head of the Church because he is the Savior of this body. He became the head through the salvation of the saved, and the saved became members of Him through salvation. Setting the primacy of the husband over the wife on a par with the primacy of Christ over the Church, as her Savior, does it not indicate that the husband must prove himself to be the savior of the wife, so that the wife sees him as her savior, and on the feeling that he is protection, guardian and her protection and that she, after the mountain, should keep and revive her obedience to him. Theophylact writes: "Just as Christ, being the head of the Church, provides for her and saves her, so the husband is the savior of his wife and body. How can this body not obey the head that cares for him and saves him? " "Thus," St. Chrysostom says, "he offered the husband and wife, as the basis of their happiness, mutual love and care, indicating to each of them that it's decent for someone - one boss and care, for another - it's obedience." Blessed Theodorite had the same thought: "The Divine Apostle presented this example very wisely. For it is enough to inspire respect for their husbands in their wives, and to put gentle love for their wives in husbands. "...What is meant by "elements of the world"? If this had been said in our time, then we could answer: this is matter, the totality of simple elements that make up the world itself. But, as you can see, that philosophy recognized the existence of the world of spirits, sought to communicate with him and taught to serve spirits.
