The Peachtree Farmer

Jul 20, 2025    Pastor Seth

In this powerful exploration of Ephesians 5:21-33, we're challenged to reimagine marriage as a reflection of Christ's love for the church. The passage calls us to mutual submission, with wives respecting their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. This isn't about power dynamics, but about mirroring the profound mystery of Christ's relationship with His bride, the church. We're invited to see marriage as a living gospel, where unconditional love and respect create a union that transcends mere partnership. The imagery of the husband as a gentle farmer tending to a delicate peach reminds us of the care and nurture required in marriage. This message isn't just for married couples; it's a call for all of us to embody Christ-like love in our relationships, treating others with the tenderness and reverence we see in God's love for us.
