Sweethearts That Appear To Be The Perfect Couple

Bible Reading: Acts 5:1-11

Key Verse: Verse 1 - “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,”

Key Words: Ananias, with Sapphira his wife


On the surface this couple appeared to be “the perfect couple.”

  • They appeared to be givers (verse 1).
  • They attended church.
  • They were in unison (verse 9).


They gave all the outward signs of being just a “perfect couple.”  But all of us know that there usually is no perfect marriage.


The Perfect Story:  There was a perfect man who met a perfect woman.  After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding.  Their life together was, of course, perfect.


One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve this perfect couple was driving along a winding road when they noticed someone at the roadside in distress.  Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help.  There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys.  Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle.  Soon they were driving along delivering the toys.  Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident.  Only one of them survived the accident.  Who was the survivor?


Answer:  The perfect woman.  She’s the only one that really existed in the first place.  Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.


A Male’s Response: So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving.  This explains why there was a car accident.


While there is no perfect couple, each couple can unite to serve God together with sincerity and integrity.  Are you doing that?

What to do:

Be real, but be real to God and for God, not to the world and for the world.
