Summary

Ephesians 5 is like a fair number of people in New York City. It’s both rich and famous. Because it’s so rich, you could work through it word by word and get quite a bit out of it. But it’s also advantageous to do what we’re going to do, which is to fly over the whole thing. In this way, we’ll get a panoramic view of the immense biblical wisdom on this subject of marriage. What we learn about marriage here is 1) what it is, 2) what it does, 3) what it needs, and 4) what it shows. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 15, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 5:21–33. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:42.0	For the husband is the as to the Lord.
0:43.0	For the husband is the head of the wife
0:45.0	as Christ is the head of the Church,
0:47.2	his body, of which he is a Savior.
0:50.7	Now as the Church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
0:57.0	Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy,
1:04.9	cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a
1:10.6	radiant church without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish but holy and blameless.
1:17.0	In this same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.

1:27.5	hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it just as Christ does the Church, for we are members of his body.
1:37.0	For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife
1:42.3	and the two will become one flesh. This is a
1:45.4	profound mystery but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of
