(1 Corinthians 11:3 NKJV) But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
God shows us in this verse that there is accountability for each one of us.
Jesus had God for His accountability, even though they were One, (John 10:30 NKJV) “I and My Father are one.” God the Father was still His accountability and Jesus went to Him.
His Word brings order to us and teaches us who we all should go to for this accountability. Man goes to Christ, woman goes to man, and Jesus went to God.
God does not give us this order so that people can try to control us and make us feel belittled. He does it so that it may bring safety and stability and help us to keep our lives, thoughts and emotions balanced, focused and moving forward!
Wherever there is no accountability, there is chaos and things get way out of hand. We all need to stay accountable to those that God leads us to, those that will speak up when we need to hear it and won’t be afraid to speak the truth with love.
With all the power and authority that Jesus had in Him, He still only did what the Father showed Him. Here, He shares how He can and will do nothing on His own. (John 5:19 NKJV) Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
Jesus was accountable to His Father, and in all of that accountability He did all that He needed to do while here on earth. There was no lack, no insufficiency and definitely no error in Him.
Accountability brings Victory!! Amen.
