A husband’s leadership is to picture the gospel. Jesus is inseparable from his bride, as a human head is from a human body. Paul himself heard this truth directly on the road to Damascus where he was headed to arrest and disrupt the church in Syria. The Galilean voice did not say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute a gathering of people who believe in the things I taught,” but rather “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me” (Acts 9:4).
