Colossians gives us one of the clearest pictures of the supremacy of Christ in who he is and what he has done (see chapters 1-2). All throughout chapter 3 Paul has been opening our eyes to the implications of Christ’s supremacy for how we live our lives now, culminating in 3:17: we should do everything in the name of the Lord. This week Paul applies that general principle to areas where we spend most of our lives: in our marriages (3:18-19) and our families (3:20-21). Next week this will also extend to our work (3:22-4:1). As the risen and exalted Lord, we need to recognize Christ’s authority over every aspect of life.
