We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of
HANNAH ??? GREENE to EVAN JARED BUDD
Before God and all these Witnesses
Personal Note
I’ve known these two for a little while and many of you have walked for many years with them.
This is an exciting day.
They’ve been involved at our church for a number of years
Getting to know them better and hearing their stories has been a joy
I’ve seen their love and care for one another as you have
I’ve seen them laugh and cry together as many of you have
I’ve seen them serve and worship the lord together.
it is clear that God has done a work in each of their lives and brought them together To this very moment
so I am rejoicing with all of you.
but I want to talk briefly on the meaning of marriage
The Meaning of Marriage
Marriage isn’t a MAN-MADE institution it is GOD-MADE.
Marriage goes back to the beginning and is profound because demonstrates the gospel.
Genesis 2 - One Flesh
In the beginning in Genesis 2:21-24 we read.
Genesis 2:21–24 (ESV)
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
What we are celebrating here today is
not ONLY God’s INVENTION but God’s INTENTION
for the man and woman he created.
God created man and woman to be two in one, to become
ONE FLESH — ONE LIFE — ONE FAMILY.
As we all watched HANNAH walk down the aisle,
I am reminded – that God brought her to the man
Praise the Lord - that you FINALLY brought her to EVAN
Notice how God made the women,
I like how one commentator (Matthew Henry) put it:
“The woman was made of a RIB OUT OF THE SIDE of Adam;
not made out of his HEAD to RULE OVER HIM,
nor out of his FEET to be TRAMPLED UPON BY HIM,
but out of his SIDE to be EQUAL WITH HIM,
under his ARM to be PROTECTED,
and near his HEART to be BELOVED.”
B/c Eve came from Adam they began literally as ONE FLESH,
Today EVAN and HANNAH RETURN to ONE FLESH in the MARRIAGE COVENANT.
Gospel Presentation
As good as God is in bringing them into this covenant relationship.
The Bible teaches us there is something much more profound happening in marriage
The covenant of marriage between a husband and wife is a display of the gospel of Jesus and His Church.
Paul’s teaching in Ephesians 5
Ephesians 5:31–32 (ESV)
31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
The Bible tells the love story between God and His people
Between Jesus and His bride the church
In this we find the meaning of marriage.
Many things can make a good marriage:
good communication, common interests, compromise, conflict resolution skills (we’ve worked on all that).
but there is only one thing that can bring marriage to its fullness and intended purpose
and that is the person and work of Jesus.
Marriage is about Gospel
The Gospel is about God’s Love
God’s love is demonstrated through Jesus and his submission and sacrifice through a covenantal love
Christian marriage embodies this covenantal love
through the rhythms of submission and sacrifice
Jesus taught that greater love has no one than this that they
lay down their life for their friends
Jesus perfectly demonstrated this love for his bride, the church.
He submitted his life’s purpose to another’s will,
God the father
and he perfectly sacrificed himself for the love of his life,
his people even when they did not deserve it.
He fulfilled God’s covenantal promise to love a people for himself.
Romans 5:8 (ESV) 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
The church responds in trusting and loving submission to Jesus who gave himself for her.
These rhythms of submission, sacrifice through covenantal love
will be lived out in the marriage of EVAN and HANNAH.
1. Submitting to One Another
The first thing we see is that
A Marriage thrives when both are submitting to one another,
not out of duty,
or personal gain,
but out of deep reverence and love for god.
Ephesians 5:21 (ESV) 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
This is only possible because of our love for God.
2. Sacrificial Leadership
Jesus is the picture of the husband
in that EVAN is called to lovingly lay down his life for the sake of his bride
Ephesians 5:25–28 (ESV)
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.
