The Import of Marriage

THE IMPORT OF MARRIAGE (Gen. 2:18-24; Eph. 5:22, 33.)

Marriage is like a finger pointing to the union of Christ and the
Church; and what a poor-hearted thing he must be who, with the arm
of a wife pressing on his own has never thought of it as
pointing to the love of the Lord Jesus for that Church, for whom
He gave Himself, and which He is to present to Himself without spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing.
