Key Verse: Verse 25 - “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”
Key Words: Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it
A father and a mother love their son and want the very best for him. They hope he will find a girl outstanding in character and attainments, and that this girl will make him a good wife. They watch him pay attention to two girls, each of whom is seeking to capture the son for herself. The two girls may be jealous of each other in the modern sense of unpleasant fear and resentment, but the parents are jealous of their son in the Bible sense of the word. They are not jealous of him, nor are they jealous of either of the girls. They have a feeling of great love and desire for their son; they wish to protect him from any unworthy choice; they wish only that he will turn to that which will be best for him.
God has jealousy for us; He loves us so much that He does not wish us to waste our powers and our affections on the trivial and tawdry. God’s whole purpose in the processes of life is to undeceive us, to turn us from hope or trust in ourselves and turn us back to all hope and trust in Himself.
