A PERFECT EXAMPLE
By Robert E. Hanna
Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 5:30-33
The Apostle Paul was the
incomparable master of illustration in his teaching and preaching.
His clarity and intensity draw the hearer's attention and make his
point plainly understood. Especially graphic is the relating
ofmarital conjugation with the affinity of the church, the Body of
Christ. The closest relationship with which the human mind can
identify is that which exists between husband, and wife. Thus Paul
appropriately applies the compariscoe "For we are members of His
body, of His flesh, and of His bones. 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. This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the Church."
We who have received Him
as Lord and Savior are one with Christ. We are indwelt by Him,
identified with Him, submitted to Him. God is the Author of unity.
Only by Him, through Christ, can a perfect state exist. What irony it
is, that weak and puny man has the audacity to believe that by his
own strength and ingenuity he can attain the unattainable by
implementing his salvation apart from surrender to the one God and
Father of all!
Man cannot please God in
any way other than obedience to His will. Obedience to His will
begins with acceptance of His love. It seems that man's most
difficult task is that of accepting a gift of love; he prefers to
barter for love rather than to receive it freely given. "Herein
is love, NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US, and sent His
Son ... " (I John 4:10).
There
is only way to be SAVED 1. Corinthian 15;1 - 4 Christ died for our
sins was buried and rose again the third day. Believe this from you
heart and you will have eternal life.
