Ephesians chapter 5, verses 22 through 27.

Wives submit to your own husbands as to the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now, as the church submits to Christ, so also

wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved

the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the

washing of water with the word, so that

he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any such thing,

that she might be holy and without blemish.

There's a ton we could talk about with this passage.

Ephesians chapter 5 verses 22 through 33 gives a

powerful picture of God's design for marriage as a display of the gospel. It's so awesome when you

think about how God in the very beginning, like all the way back to Genesis 1 and 2,

creating man and woman in his image to complement one another.

In Genesis chapter 2, how he brings man and woman together to form one flesh in marriage

and this picture of covenant commitment to one another. And he did this for a reason,

like from the very beginning in Genesis chapter 2, God set up marriage between a man and a woman

in this way to be a picture on the landscape of human history of his love for the world and Jesus' love

specifically for the church, for those he came to die for, his love for sinners who would

trust in him. The whole picture here of husbands as a picture of Jesus' love for the church and the way they

love their wives.

Like husbands feel the way to this in a fresh way today.
