There was a tyrannical husband who demanded that his wife conform to rigid standards of his own choosing. She was to do certain things for him as wife, mother, and homemaker. In time she came to hate him as much as she hated his list of rules. He died and in time she came to love another man whom she married. The two of them lived on a perpetual honeymoon. Joyfully she devoted herself to his happiness and welfare. One day she found one of the lists her first husband had written for her. To her amazement she discovered she was doing for her second husband all the things her first husband had demanded of her – even though it was not required of her. She was doing it all as an expression of love. Obedience follows love. If we love Jesus we will obey Him.
