“Wow, you’re growing like a weed.”  “Impressive, you can jump like a kangaroo.”  “Brrrr, that was cold as ice.”  We like comparisons and, of course, the Scripture has many.  However, when Paul wrote that a husband should love his wife “as Christ loved the Church…”, he was not only using a comparison, he was giving us a profound example.  Think of the great love Christ displayed at the cross.  “God demonstrated His love for us in this way, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Of course, it is possible to get stuck in the past and wonder if Christ currently loves us.  He surely demonstrated His love for us in the past but is He still demonstrating His love?  Our text for Sunday is most often used as a marriage guide but we often overlook what is plainly given to us regarding the love of Christ for us today.   So, this week, before we look at the application for husbands and wives, we’re going to study the main point of the text; namely, the expressions of love that Christ has for His people today.  Join us for Communion and a reminder of how He loves.
