Sunday: One Flesh
Daily Lesson for Sunday 13th of April 2025
Few biblical metaphors underscore the intimacy that God desires with the human race more than that of marriage. This metaphor is used so frequently in the biblical narrativeโand shows up so pointedly in Revelationโthat it is imperative for Bible students to grasp what God is driving at when He uses it in the Word.
Read Genesis 2:23-25 and Ephesians 5:29-32. In what ways does a human marriage mirror Christโs bond to humanity?
On an occasion when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, He quoted the Genesis account of Adam and Eveโs marriage, to which the Pharisees quickly raised the question, โ โWhy then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?โ โ (Matthew 19:7, NKJV).
Moses, of course, was deemed a founding prophet for the nation. Imagine questioning the Author of the institution of marriage by pitting Him against His own prophet. Their tact was typical of their approach to Jesus; they often attempted to prove that His teachings contradicted the Scriptures.
Lifetime, faithful marriage was the ideal established by God at the foundation of the human race. Fallen humanity, unfortunately, damaged this foundational gift from God.
Perhaps, given the importance that Scripture assigns to marriage, it is not a coincidence that the institution has always been under relentless attack. Along with the Sabbath, it is one of the two gifts bestowed on us in Eden, and both were intended to demonstrate Godโs desire for an intimate relationship with His creation.
Marriage, the intimate pairing of two imperfect people, will always give cause for tension. A marriage between the church and Christ is the pairing of a perfect Savior with a very imperfect bride. Nevertheless, we can learn about Godโs love from what a good marriage offers.
Here are three principles for marriage. First, forgive your spouse, however undeserving, just as Christ forgives us, however undeserving. Second, accept your spouse, faults and all, just as Christ accepts us, faults and all. Third, just as Christ put us before Himself, put your spouse before yourself. How could all three of these gospel-based principles help us not only to understand how God relates to us but also to help any marriage? |

Matteo 2:13 – Apri la porta del tuo cuore
“Dopo che furono partiti, un angelo del Signore apparve in sogno a Giuseppe e gli disse: ‘Alzati, prendi il bambino e sua madre, fuggi in Egitto e restaci finché io non te lo dico; perché Erode sta per cercare il bambino per farlo morire’”. ๐ Matteo 2:13
