BIBLE PASSAGE:
Gen. 2:24 (FATHER), Matt. 19:5 (JESUS), Eph. 5:31 (Paul by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit)
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh…”
We can summarize the basic teaching on that passage with 3 concepts:
PRESCRIPTIVE for Marriage.
DESCRIPTIVE Christ and His Bride, the Church.
ILLUSTRATIVE all relationships.
This type of love has been shown to couples by Jesus, who showed and shows this kind of love to His chosen bride, the Church (see Ephesians 5:32). This seminar highlighted this connection as we develop the details.
The Rev. Todd A. Biermann is the Senior Pastor of the Lutheran Church Faith – Grand Blanc, MI, United States.
