Marriage in Christ
Playback speed
Ephesians 5 is like a fair number of people in New York City. It’s both rich and famous.
Because it’s so rich, you could work through it word by word and get quite a bit out of it. But it’s also advantageous to do what we’re going to do, which is to fly over the whole thing. In this way, we’ll get a panoramic view of the immense biblical wisdom on this subject of marriage.
What we learn about marriage here is 1) what it is, 2) what it does, 3) what it needs, and 4) what it shows.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 15, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 5:21–33.
