Lead Me

My Pastor preached to us husbands Sunday night concerning our loving our wives like Christ loved the church and it brought to mind this song by Sanctus Real "Lead me":






Do we as husbands love our wives like Christ loved the church? I mean honestly? This is an area of our lives most of us need work on, God expects us to do as His Word says in this area.



Ephesians 5:25-28



25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.



A couple of things I want to point out here:

Christ loves the church, we are to love our wives even when they do wrong!
Christ gave Himself for the church, we are to give ourselves in total devotion to our wives.
Lean the Word and teach it to her so it will cleanse and sanctify her as well as yourself.
Love her as you do your ownself...wow this can be tough!

Our wives desire us to lead, it is our job as a man of God, the question is are you?
