IN THE BEGINNING…THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2012
NAKED AND UNASHAMEDAnd they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25
God ordained holy matrimony for the man and his wife to come together in unity, as one. Their hearts and bodies are perfectly joined in this pure relationship, no place for shame. “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4). “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage between a man and his wife is God’s perfect design; it mysteriously bears witness to Christ’s relationship with the church. Christ is the head of the church, just as the man is the head of his wife. Together they can be naked and unashamed because of the perfection, the completeness of this relationship. And it is God who is the author of this union. It is God who will be the finisher.
Today, let us thank God for holy matrimony.
