Mar 14 Devotion: The Church

Ephesians 5:21-33 – “21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”

Let me start off by saying I love the church. I have been in church all of my life. My parents raised me in church and I was saved through the preaching in the church. I was called to preach in the church and also married in the church. Once again, I love the church.

The Church

  1. Christ is the head

  2. Holy Spirit is the Administrator

  3. Unity is the strength

  4. Redemption is the message

  5. Compassion is the effectiveness of the church

  6. Heaven is the home of the church

  7. Christ is the Bridegroom-church is the Bride
