Washing With Water Through
The Word
Wives,
submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of
the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church
submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to
make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to
present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any
other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After
all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body,
just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this
reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and
the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking
about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife
as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:22-33
Put
things in your life in perspective. It may not be Mother’s Day but every day
you should thank the women in your life.
Our
wives need to experience the kind of sacrificial, selfless love that has been
shown to us by the Lover of our souls.
Jesus
understood the role of women in our lives, just as he understood the role He
has in our own lives. His cleansing water of life will provide all we need to
be happy.
Life is not about the prizes we win, but the people we love.
