Colossians 3:22-25
Excerpted from: Submitting (Part 1)Why do we submit? It is out of respect for God. That is what Jesus did. He submitted to the authority of Pilate because of God.
Is God involved? Do we see what the apostle Paul is doing? He is bringing the example of Christ, and Christ's attitude toward those who were in authority, all the way down to an employment level. We found in Ephesians 5:21 that he brought it down to a relationship within a congregation. But in either case the submitting was done out of respect for God—not because the authority was great, not because there was a better man or woman; it had nothing whatsoever to do with the character of the person who was in authority.
