Paul addresses a tradition of head coverings to speak of submission to God.
While this illustration is difficult for us to follow, for the people of ancient Corinth it made sense.
Jesus is the head.
We have a way of bucking authority and making God in our own image.
Freely and totally submit to God.
The purpose of this passage is to illustrate headship between man and Christ as well as leadership in the home and Church.
Father, may I be quick to joyfully submit.
