The Beauty of Marriage: Husbands
In Ephesians 5:25-33, Paul describes three ways husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. They are to love their wives sacrificially, dying to themselves. They are to love their wives with a sanctifying love. The Christian husband is to show concern for and help lead his wife in holiness. And they are to love their wives as themselves. The Christian husband nourishes and cherishes his wife, seeking to meet her needs and providing an atmosphere where she can flourish. The call upon Christian husbands is high, but the strength to live it out can be found in Christ.
The Beauty of Marriage: Wives
In Ephesians 5:22-33 Paul describes the ways in which marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church. The creation of marriage pointed to this at its inception. It is a picture of the Church’s union with Christ. Today we will see how wives following their husbands points to the Church’s submission to her Lord.
