Destined for Glory and Union In my opinion, this passage is one of the most amazing statements of the Church’s relationship to Jesus in all the Scripture. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle…So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies…For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. ” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
