Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…
Husbands, Love Your Wives.
This is so simple, yet so profound.
Love Your Wife. It is a command from God’s word. It is something that we have to learn how to do if we are to do it right.
And how do we learn it? We learn by example. And who is our example? Jesus Himself.
Jesus loved His bride so much that He gave His life for her. He loved His bride so much, He laid His life down as a sacrifice for her.
This means that anything less than giving His life would have been easy for Him to do. Any other kind of sacrifice would have been a simple thing for Him to do, with no tough decision required.
So where do we, as husbands, stand when it comes to this kind of unselfish love? Do we love our wives the way Christ loved His bride?
Do we pass the test with flying colors, or do we maybe just squeak by? Or do we miss it by a longshot?
No matter how well or how poor a job we do when it comes to loving our wife, we can always do better. We will never be perfect, but we need to give our wife a 100% effort, nothing less.
So, husbands, ask yourself today if you’re loving your wife the way Christ loved His bride.
Husbands, love your wives.
