Ephesians 5:22-33: Marriage Enrichment in only a few verses.

Rev. Curtis Deterding, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Fort Myers, FL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Ephesians 5:22-33.

Paul lays out a holy order for marriage.  Wives submit to your husbands; husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church.  It sounds so simple, right?  It only takes a few verses to realize that we all need to repent and seek God’s grace in Christ.  Yet, Jesus never asks us to do something that He would not do Himself.  He has submitted to us by becoming nothing and going to the cross.  He has loved us to the point of death.  This love showers upon us to know that on this journey He will sustain strengthen, forgive, and bless our marriages as He first loved us.  “Lord Jesus Christ, help us to love as You first loved us.  Help husbands to have a sacrificial love for their wives and wives to submit and respect their husbands, all to Your glory and all by Your grace found in the cross.  Lord have mercy.  Amen”
