the church.

the church.

Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his

own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband”

(Ephesians 5:32-33).

What a beautiful example the relationship between Christ and the

Church is! Paul explains that Christ loved the Church so much that He

gave His life for her (verse 25). How could those of us in the Church

ever doubt His love for us? How could we not respond to the things He

asks us to do?

The understanding that marriage between a man and a woman is

a type of the relationship between Christ and the Church is further

understood by a vision Jesus Christ revealed to John at the end of the

first century. John recorded this vision in the last book of the Bible, the

book of Revelation.

After Jesus returns to take over the kingdoms of this earth and

establish the Kingdom of God, He reveals that He is going to be involved

in a very special marriage.

Here is how John recorded the vision: “‘Let us be glad and rejoice

and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His

wife has made herself ready.’ And to her it was granted to be arrayed in

fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the

saints. Then he said to me, ‘Write: “Blessed are those who are called to

the marriage supper of the Lamb!”’” (Revelation 19:7-9).

The faithful saints who have been part of the Church founded by

Jesus Christ will become the Bride of Christ. Their righteous behavior

is likened to fine, costly linen.

A happy human marriage gives us insight into a greater marriage—

one that will truly last forever because both parties will be spirit. Similar

and closely related to family, marriage also gives us a window of insight

into God’s love and plan for humanity. Because human marriages are

patterned after this spiritual relationship, they can help us comprehend

this present and future God-plane relationship.

Now that we have an understanding of God’s view of what marriage

and family represent, we can more closely examine the instructions

He gave for marriage.
