How does one balance the freedom of the gospel with some of the Bible’s admonitions to submit? John examines Colossians 3:18-4:1 along with parallel passages from Ephesians to explain a concept of freedom that is many ways subversive. In the midst of the structures and hierarchies of human society, God asks us live out his peace through submission to one another; in the midst of this submission and sacrifice, we discover a freedom that changes who we are.
