In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz continues his teaching “Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel,” based on Ephesians 5:26–33. Paul takes a deeper look at the relationship between husbands and wives, revealing how marriage points to the relationship between Christ and His church. Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her, making her holy and cleansing her through the Word. Paul then calls husbands to love their wives as their own bodies, demonstrating a sacrificial love that reflects the love Christ has for His people. These verses reveal that marriage is about more than two people sharing a life together; it is a picture of the profound relationship between Christ and the church. As Pastor Michael unpacks this passage, you’ll be encouraged to consider how the gospel should shape the way we love, serve, and care for one another. This teaching will help equip you to walk through life as a Christian with a deeper understanding of God’s design for marriage and the sacrificial love that reflects Jesus. Welcome to Walk in Truth!
