BODY
A. Mutual Submission through love & Respect
Eph 5:28
a. Husbands love their wife
1.
The husband & wife are one
i.
further expressed in...
-God’s intention 4 marriage is for 2 people to b so unified that u can't tell where 1 starts & the other ends.
-The kind of oneness described here is why divorce is so devastating to God!
*divorce is the spiritual equivalent of ripping a person in two… instead
2.
He who loves himself cares for his wife
i. Paul suggests that it is as absurd for a husband to not care for his wife as a person starving himself!
-nourish: care, provision
-cherish: “to soften by heat”; “to keep warm; nurture,
to soften by heat”; then, “to keep warm

*a husband’s love is expressed through care and nurturing
*often, men, we want to divorce the concepts of care & nurture from masculine behavior in favor of emotionless, tough, detachment, but this is false!
~its not a matter of tough verses tender care
^where a tender man= effeminate (girly/wimpy man); the more tender the more effeminate
^& tough man=masculine (man’s man); the more tough the more masculine
~its about being fiercely tough in defence of your family and tender with your family!
~This is what Christ centered masculinity looks like
-
-Again, this kind o care illustrates & points others to Jesus’ relationship to the church
b.
It’s all about the Gospel
1. Jesus cares for & nurtures His Church!
i. Remember...
Eph 5:
ii.
Peter said it this way:
b.
It’s all about the Gospel
b.
It’s all about the Gospel
Eph 5:
2. Look @ how Paul describes the Gospel in:
i. Jesus died for (gave himself up) so that we might be united as HIS People forever starting now
Eph 5:25-
ii.
His death and resurrection sanctifies (to make sacred) & washes us resulting in our being set apart & eventual perfection
iii.
All of this culminates the day when He comes back and gets his church where he’ll present us 2 himself!
3. So, who’s Gospel does our marriage communicate: Jesus’ / the world’s?
c.
Wives respect their husband
1. Respect: esteem, honor, give regard, prefer, defer to, admire
2. Respect is the motivation for submission
i. Wives submit, not because it is the husband’s right and wife’s obligation, but because she respects him & his leadership so much that she trusts his judgement
-even when it doesn’t fully make sense to her
