Christ bore the load of my sins, He loved me in my fickleness and my
shame. I could not obey Him and yet He loved me still and gave me what I
needed. He made no demands, His gift was grace. Now, am I to love my
wife with this same love? Of course I am...only with the Spirit of
Christ will I succeed.
We need a savior who can love
us according to knowledge, a savior who can look past our sin, know
that we are depraved, know that we can't help our sinning, know that we
cannot fix ourselves or even approach Him rightly when asking for help.
Indeed, we will insult our Savior, but we need Him, and He will and has
loved us still. He will overlook our offense and help us. Azariah!!!
This is the call of a
husband. Husbands, love your wives by answering their cry for help, even
if their cry is without honor. Love as Christ has loved. Christ is our
example, and He is our call...the call of a Husband.
