Ephesians 5:25-26 (NIV)
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved
the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her
by the washing with water through the word,
For husbands, there is sacrificial love in our purpose and
purpose in our sacrifice. We give up ourselves to love our wives. Jesus is our
example here, and he gave up everything. His purpose? To make us holy and
beautiful to God. Our motives are to be equally as sacrificial and pure in
surrendering our rights to bless and love our wives. As Paul reminds us in Ephesians
5:21, we too are to submit, but this does not mean spinelessness, it means
service and sacrifice to bless and bring glory to Christ.
Thought for today:
Am I serving in sacrifice and with purpose?
