DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Ephesians 5:22-32
Daily Lectionary: Joel 2:1-17; Romans 11:1-24
This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5:32)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. If you’re dating someone, or married, or interested, you’ll learn quickly that trying to understand a member of the opposite sex can be a mystery! Men are from Mars and women from Venus and all that. But what’s an even greater mystery is how marriage is a picture of Christ and His Bride: the holy, Christian Church.
Jesus’ first sign was at a wedding. Water into wine. Later, on Good Friday, Jesus “leaves His mother to be united to His wife” when He dies on the cross. Just as Adam’s wife was made from the rib taken from his side, so our Lord’s Bride, the Church, comes from His side in the water (Baptism!) and the blood (Supper!) which flow forth when He is pierced.
Christ’s Bride is the Church. You are the Bride of Christ. Made holy by Christ. Pure. Spotless. No stains. No blemishes. No spots, wrinkles, or warts. When Jesus looks at you, He loves you because you are pure and holy, because He has washed away all your sins.
A husband is to love his wife like that—to make her sins his own and to protect and comfort her. A wife is to look to her husband to see in him the one person God has given her to protect and comfort and forgive her. And that is a picture of something greater. Christ loves His Church and takes her sin away. The Church loves Christ and looks to Him to be her Savior from sin and death. It is a beautiful picture and a holy mystery.
Of course, even the best marriages are a pale reflection of that mystery and the breakup of a marriage is a sad reminder that sin still messes things up. But that just means all the more that Jesus loves His Bride and washes her and makes her spotless so that even when we see the picture blurred, the reality of Christ’s love for His Church—for you—never grows old or stops. You are His and He has made you perfect and spotless in God’s sight. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heav’n He came and sought her to be His holy bride. With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. (The Church’s One Foundation, LSB 644:1)
