The Mystery of Marriage
The Apostle Paul calls marriage a mystery, but not the unsolvable kind. The mystery has a key, and the key is Christ and the Church.
Working through Ephesians 5:15–33, Administrative Pastor Ryan James shows that marriage cannot be understood in isolation from the gospel. What looks like an institution about two people is actually a picture of something much bigger: the covenant love of Christ for His bride. Once that’s clear, marriage starts to make sense in ways it simply can’t on its own terms.
