Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:22-31

Ephesians 5:22-31 On Marriage. I. Consider how the earthly and the heavenly views of Christian marriage which the Apostle presents to us are thoroughly one, and cannot be separated. It was an old delusion that the Christian who wished to give himself up to the influences of the Spirit, to obtain the salvation of his soul, and to win even in this life something higher than its transitory things, could do no better than to withdraw himself as far as possible from this world and to flee at once... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:25-27

Ephesians 5:25-27 I. The love of Christ. None of us, it is truly said, is a stranger to this master emotion of the human soul. Flowing through the earth like streams amid desert sands, shining in life's darkest nights like stars in a wintry sky, throwing its bright bow over every cloud of fortune, this world owes to love more than to anything else what blessedness it enjoys. Life without it would not be worth the having; and without it, though we had a house, and that house a palace, we could... read more

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.

DISCOURSE: 2122THE PERFECTING OF THE CHURCH IS THE END OF ALL THAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR ITEphesians 5:25-27. Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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.THE morality of the Gospel, though not more extensive than that of the law, is yet more clearly revealed, and... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Ephesians 5:30

DISCOURSE: 2123UNION WITH CHRISTEphesians 5:30. We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.THAT the eternal Son of God assumed our nature, and lived and died for the salvation of men, is doubtless the fundamental truth on which we are to build our hopes. But we shall have a very partial view of that truth, if we consider it merely in reference to our acceptance with God. The Apostles state it as the strongest of all motives to obedience, and as the pattern which, as far as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:1-33

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Ephesians, chapter 5.Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children ( Ephesians 5:1 );Now, the therefore immediately points you back, back to the last verse of chapter 4 where we are exhorted to be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us. Paul's topic here is God's forgiveness as our example of forgiveness. "Be ye followers of God," or follow the example that God has established for us in... read more
