One With Christ

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5:31-32)

The institution of marriage is the picture of Jesus Christ who left His Father and was joined to His wife, the church. We are one with Christ; that is our identity. “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones” (Ephesians 5:30). Unlike earthly marriages, Jesus will never divorce His wife. Rest in this fact of our union with the Lord Jesus.
