This past Saturday we were blessed to witness two people dedicating their lives to each other. Kaleb and Kristin left their fathers and mothers and were joined to each other becoming one flesh (Gen 2:24). They made the commitment to each other to begin their own family and serve one another in it (Eph. 5:22-33). Their commitment was to stick with each other through thick and thin that no matter what came before them, they would endure together. There are many in this world that make that promise, but fail to fulfill it when the trials come.
The passage from Ephesians 5 compares the relationship of the husband and wife to Christ and His church. Those in the church are the bride of Christ. When we decided to obey God and were added the church, we made a commitment. Regardless of what comes before us, we will stand with God and endure it with Him. As we think of the commitment of Kaleb and Kristin, let us also remember the commitment we have made to God.
