From the series From This Day Forward
From the beginning, God’s heart for male and female was unity—that together, and with God, we would be unified in fulfilling the purpose He set for us on this earth. Yet, this topic, meant to exemplify God’s heart, has continued to be a point of division throughout history. We live in a society where selfishness is often worn as a badge of honor, and sacrifice is a phrase for the weak-willed. But Jesus models a different way—a way of selfless servanthood that moves our lives and marriages toward God’s plans. Because, when relationships shift from “me” to “we,” God’s power is best displayed. When relationships shift from “me” to “we,” the mission grows stronger. When relationships move from “me” to “we,” God’s grace is echoed into this world.
