God's Love Post

Harmony in Marriage

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ

(the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Wives, be subject (the Savior of His body.

be submissive and adapt yourselves

to your own husbands as (a service) to the Lord.

For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head

of the Church, Himself the Savior of His body.

As the Church is subject to Christ, so let wives also

be subject in everything to their husbands.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church

and gave Himself up for her,

So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the

washing of water with the Word,

That He might present the Church to Himself in glorious

splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things (that

she might be holy and faultless).

Even so husbands should love their wives as (being in a sense)

their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully

protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the Church.

Because we are members (parts) of His body.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be

joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.

This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning (the relation of) Christ

and the Church.

However, let each man of you (without exception) love his wife as (being

in a sense) his very own self; and let the wife see that see that she respects

and reverences her husband (that she notices him, regards him, honors

him, prefers him).

(Ephesians 5.21-33).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) We realize how much Jesus loves the Church and how He

wants us to love one another with His love.

2) To the extent that we experience His love we can express

His love.The perfect role model for us is Jesus Christ Himself.

HALLELIUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
