00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.500
 My two oldest girls have reached a point in their life where they're starting to show interest in shows like Say Yes to the Dress.

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:18.120
! And I'm not very excited about that.

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:29.240
 Already at 14 and three quarters and 11, they're beginning to imagine what it will be like to don.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.200
 That beautiful dress and to walk down that aisle towards some bum who waits them at the other end.

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.600
 A few weeks ago, I walked upstairs and they're all in there laughing and having fun.

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:55.379
 And I walk in and Ashlyn has found Julie's wedding dress and is trying it on her house.

00:00:55.380 --> 00:01:01.280
 It's been more than 17 years since Julie put that dress on.

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:03.760
 I remember it like it was this morning.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.879
 I should have showed you a picture, but I didn't want her to get mad at me.

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.879
 There's something about the beauty of a bride on her wedding day.

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.340
 The significance of that moment and the meaning of it all.

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:25.459
 Even if we don't quite comprehend it the way that we should comprehend it in terms of what the Bible teaches about it,

00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:32.379
 there's still something about it, something built into it that captures our attention and our affections.

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:46.500
 Time and time again, we see the most stoic and masculine of men reduced to tears in a moment as they look on their bride.

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:59.140
 In that moment, it's as if he sees her glory for the first time and is overwhelmed at the gift that she is to his life.

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:05.200
 A companion designed especially for him.

00:02:06.539 --> 00:02:09.560
 And that's what's happening in this text.

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.879
 Genesis 2, look with me at verse 18.

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.060
 Then the Lord God said,

00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:21.680
 It is not good that the man should be alone.

00:02:23.799 --> 00:02:26.479
 I will make him a helper fit for him.

00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:34.939
 Now out of the ground, the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens

00:02:34.939 --> 00:02:38.259
 and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.

00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:43.359
 And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:49.759
 The man gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the heavens, to every beast of the field.

00:02:50.019 --> 00:02:55.680
 But for Adam, there was not found a helper fit for him.

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.920
 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.680
 And while he slept, took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:18.000
 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man, he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.560
 Then the man said,

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:27.500
 This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.039
 She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man.

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:41.800
 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.719
 And they shall become one flesh.

00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:52.699
 The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:01.379
 In chapter 1, the essential equality and distinction of male and female was noted for us.

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.879
 But it didn't explain that distinction or its purpose.

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:17.860
 In chapter 2, however, as we're working through it, our understanding of the two human sexes of God's divine binary for humanity,

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:20.519
 we're beginning to understand them better.

00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:24.019
 We're beginning to see better how they relate to one another.

00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:27.420
 And that's starting to take shape for us here in the scriptures.

00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:40.080
 Begin to see here God's plan for how humans will fulfill the creation mandate to be fruitful and to multiply and to fill the earth.

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:49.900
 We're seeing how the family will be the foundational unit for human flourishing in the world that God has created.

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:59.120
 So much about human sexuality and marriage is distorted in our day and age.

00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:07.699
 But the truth is it's been distorted ever since the first sin, which we'll get to next week in Genesis chapter 3.

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:22.579
 But in this text, before that, we see the glory of what God intended for the man and the woman.

00:05:24.259 --> 00:05:33.379
 Last week we looked especially at the first man and his role as a prophet and priest and king in God's garden.

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:50.519
 And now we find the glory of the first woman specially created to complement the man so that they might glorify God together as his image bearers in the world.

00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:57.719
 And when we take the two sections together and we begin to process them as a unit,

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:10.480
 that what we find is that God's very good design for human flourishing is the covenantal union of a man and a woman

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:23.640
 who are equal in dignity while gloriously distinct in personhood and in function or purpose.

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:53.300
 God's evaluation of his creation is suddenly and quite emphatically different from everything else we've seen in Genesis so far.

00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:03.079
 If you think back to Genesis 1 over and over and over again, we see God's creative act and then we see the evaluation that it is good.

00:07:03.159 --> 00:07:08.560
 And we get to the end of it, to the end of day 6, and we see that it is all very good.

00:07:09.979 --> 00:07:14.459
 But here we're seeing the expansion of what was taking place on day 6.

00:07:14.579 --> 00:07:17.439
 This is before the conclusion of the day.

00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:23.360
 And strikingly, coming off the page, we see this evaluation from God.

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.819
 Something is not good for the very first time.

00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.160
 It's shocking in the text, provocative almost.

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.159
 But in what way is the something not good?

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:44.640
 It's not that God had made a mistake or that there was a problem that had suddenly occurred to him and needed addressing.

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.720
 Something was not good in the sense that it was incomplete.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.400
 It was insufficient in its current state.

00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:07.139
 And God interjects into the narrative a statement to help us understand the critical nature of what he was about to do.

00:08:08.419 --> 00:08:10.079
 Something was missing.

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:21.739
 And we, along with Adam, need to sense the inadequacy of man's state prior to God's next creative act.

00:08:22.179 --> 00:08:23.199
 Do you get that?

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.000
 You need to sense that before we go anywhere else with this text.

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:30.860
 There is inadequacy in Adam.

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.659
 Insufficiency in Adam.

00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:39.399
 God wants for us to see it, so he interjects this statement.

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:48.819
 And he shows us, as he shows Adam, this inadequacy so that we might fully understand and appreciate the glory of what he's about to do.

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:53.860
 And what is this problem that he calls our attention to?

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.680
 The problem is that the man is alone.

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:00.500
 He's alone.

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:07.740
 God here indicating for us that man cannot flourish in isolation.

00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:13.399
 He designed humanity to exist in community.

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:20.720
 First, in communion with the Lord God, his creator, and then with other human beings.

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:33.920
 And we can discern from this that a life that is lived in isolation from communion with the Lord and then from communion with other people is categorically not good.

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:34.919
 It's not good.

00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.240
 It's not good.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:46.819
 And still, the text is primarily about a specific kind of companionship.

00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:59.800
 A relationship that will feature in the scriptures as a key building block and foundational stone for human life and human flourishing.

00:10:01.140 --> 00:10:05.240
 But an important note of clarity needs to be made here before we go any further.

00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:15.680
 While this text is indeed focused on marriage, we're going to spend a lot of time this morning thinking about that and meditating on it.

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:24.799
 We are not to use this text as an instrument to castigate or think less of singleness.

00:10:25.599 --> 00:10:27.839
 That's not what this text is doing.

00:10:29.019 --> 00:10:41.019
 How could we disparage and demean a life that characterized the Lord Jesus in his own life?

00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:46.740
 That Paul said may actually be preferred in some cases.

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:51.799
 The New Testament calls singleness a gift.

00:10:53.179 --> 00:11:02.319
 One of the things we need to stop doing is assuming that every person needs a spouse before their life is worth anything.

00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:16.440
 We have got to stop looking at every single person in our lives that may come in and out of our church as if their main need from us is that we fix them up.

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.640
 That's not what this text is doing.

00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:30.900
 And so if you're here today and you're single, which is a lot of people, and hopefully at least for those two girls I mentioned earlier in the sermon will be the case for a very long time.

00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:39.879
 This text is not about making you feel less than what you are.

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.500
 It's not what this is.

00:11:42.459 --> 00:11:44.740
 But there is a significance to the text.

00:11:45.199 --> 00:11:46.699
 And we need to understand it.

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.980
 We need to understand it well.

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:55.240
 What God said that man lacked was specifically a helper fit for him.

00:11:56.779 --> 00:12:00.259
 And I want you to see the way that the scene unfolds here.

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:04.700
 It indicates that Adam himself was unaware of the inadequacy.

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:07.460
 Just look again at the text, verse 19.

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.420
 Immediately after making this evaluation, God's now out of the ground.

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:18.159
 It says the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heaven and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.

00:12:18.439 --> 00:12:21.779
 And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.079
 Now I want you to think about that.

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.139
 Okay, this isn't a flippant thing.

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:27.699
 This wouldn't happen in 10 minutes, right?

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.139
 Adam will have to be carefully examining these creatures.

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.120
 It's not that they come before him and he just pulls a name out of his head.

00:12:39.199 --> 00:12:40.719
 You know, that will be an aardvark.

00:12:40.719 --> 00:12:42.259
 I think I'll call you an aardvark.

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:57.819
 No, we must understand that what is happening with Adam is a close examination so that he might rationally and reasonably look at the creature and then associate a name with the creature based on what he understands about it.

00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:58.059
 Okay?

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.959
 God's bringing all these animals before him and he is giving them a name.

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.159
 And then verse 20.

00:13:04.979 --> 00:13:08.360
 The man gave the names to all the livestock and the birds and the beast.

00:13:09.199 --> 00:13:10.879
 But for Adam, for the man.

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.419
 There was not found a helper fit for him.

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:19.159
 At this point, Adam didn't know what he didn't know.

00:13:20.379 --> 00:13:25.220
 Which is another reminder that God is the source of all wisdom.

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:33.559
 We must look to him and to his word to truly understand who we are and what we need.

00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.619
 God is revealing that to Adam.

00:13:36.779 --> 00:13:39.500
 It almost seems like a disruption in the text, doesn't it?

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:41.379
 God says, this is not good.

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.379
 He needs a helper.

00:13:42.819 --> 00:13:45.099
 So I think I'm going to show him all the animals.

00:13:45.739 --> 00:13:48.619
 It almost seems like a disruption, but it's very purposeful.

00:13:48.739 --> 00:13:56.939
 God is showing Adam what he needs by showing him that nothing else in this creation can fit that need.

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:01.380
 He was to examine them and name them.

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:11.300
 And when he finished his task, God had made the man aware that among all of creation, not a single living creature was fit for him.

00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:13.860
 He was alone.

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:24.139
 Unable to be and to do all that God made him to be and to do.

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:34.860
 It would be impossible for him to fully image, as the covenant head in humanity, to fully image his creator alone.

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:41.680
 It would be impossible for him to fulfill the creation mandate alone.

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:50.639
 And God shows him all the creatures so that he might sense the weight of that inadequacy.

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.960
 Let's think for a moment here about this term.

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.980
 It's an important one.

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.919
 It's a helper fit for him.

00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:01.259
 Tremendously debated and discussed.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:10.519
 Even saw last night, I think, the phone is reading my sermon documents.

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:16.980
 So I was getting these ads for Christianity Today articles about what it means to be a helper fit for him.

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:23.539
 And just out of curiosity, I wanted to look at a few comments just to see, okay, what are people saying?

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.179
 And immediately I regretted it.

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.460
 What is this?

00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:39.180
 Well, helper is not being used here in the same way that we would think of our toddlers and say, what a good little helper for mommy you are.

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.259
 That's not what this term means.

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.980
 This isn't an inferior individual in a position of servitude.

00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:50.940
 It's not what this is.

00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:58.020
 The terms used elsewhere in the Old Testament to describe God as a helper to his people.

00:15:58.520 --> 00:15:59.760
 Process that for a moment.

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:02.460
 God is not your servant.

00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:05.620
 But he is your helper.

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:09.820
 And how does he help us?

00:16:09.820 --> 00:16:23.240
 In our weakness and failure and inadequacy, he makes up for what we lack in order that he might save and bless his people.

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:38.980
 And in this text, man lacks a helper, not in the sense of a servant, but as one who can fill in what he lacks so that they both might flourish in God's garden.

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:43.460
 The term's a little clunky in English, isn't it?

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:59.300
 According to, if we take it directly into English in a literal and wooden way, many scholars would say a literal wooden understanding of this phrase is that man is in need of someone who is like opposite of him.

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.740
 Like opposite of him.

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:12.460
 In other words, Adam needs someone who is like him and yet different from him.

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:19.039
 The same as him yet distinct from him.

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:26.180
 Equal to him and yet unique in personhood and in purpose.

00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:32.099
 What Adam was missing was a human counterpart.

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:47.480
 He was missing someone equal to him in nature, equal to him in dignity, but distinct from him so as to supply what he lacked on his own.

00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.160
 That's the helper fit for him.

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.539
 Think of it like a set of double doors on the front of a house.

00:17:56.220 --> 00:18:00.359
 The two doors there share the same nature.

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.179
 They're both doors.

00:18:04.959 --> 00:18:14.799
 They ultimately share the same purpose and that is to keep some things in the house and to keep other things out of the house.

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.319
 And yet they stand opposite to one another.

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.839
 Equal yet opposite.

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:31.819
 Distinctly designed so that each needs the other to fulfill the purpose that they share.

00:18:34.639 --> 00:18:42.720
 Adam lacked a complementary counterpart with which to fulfill a shared purpose.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:47.879
 The glory of God and the flourishing of human life.

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:49.779
 Missing counterpart.

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:54.119
 I want you to notice secondly, a divine provision.

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:57.099
 Divine provision.

00:18:58.059 --> 00:19:01.599
 A solution that God provides.

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.259
 Verse 21.

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:09.299
 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man.

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:15.859
 And while he slept, he took one of his ribs, closed up its place with flesh.

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:19.740
 Notice the key distinction.

00:19:19.899 --> 00:19:21.839
 God hasn't created anything else like this, has he?

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.919
 This is unique.

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:33.839
 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man, he made that rib into a woman.

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:36.679
 And brought her to the man.

00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.019
 I love this so much.

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:46.940
 God provided the solution to man's missing counterpart through his creative power and purpose.

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:52.560
 Takes a rib from Adam's side and he makes it into a woman.

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:56.519
 And I love the flow of this narrative in verse 26.

00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:02.660
 The Lord God himself takes the role of father of the bride.

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:06.200
 Who brings the woman to the man.

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:13.880
 Just as he had paraded the animals of the garden one by one before Adam.

00:20:14.380 --> 00:20:17.519
 Once Adam has seen what he lacks.

00:20:17.620 --> 00:20:21.360
 That there is nothing for him as a helper fit for him.

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:29.680
 Now God at the very end parades to him and presents to him a woman.

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:38.620
 A special creation that will be a helper fit for him.

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:44.880
 And God presents the woman to the man as his very good gift.

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:52.380
 And we see that woman is God's solution for Adam.

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:54.660
 There's some important takeaways that we need to consider.

00:20:54.660 --> 00:21:04.700
 First, we must affirm the essential equality of men and women in God's design.

00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:16.460
 The essential that is in her essence and nature equal to the man.

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:20.060
 Of course the groundwork for this is laid for us in chapter 1.

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:23.160
 Just turn your eyes back to chapter 1 verse 27.

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.000
 So God created man.

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.620
 That's a general reference to humanity as a whole.

00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:30.380
 God created humanity in his own image.

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:32.860
 In the image of God he created him.

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:37.460
 Male and female he created them.

00:21:37.580 --> 00:21:40.200
 The groundwork is laid for us there.

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.000
 We saw the fundamental truth that all of humanity.

00:21:45.220 --> 00:21:46.620
 Not just the first man.

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:50.359
 But all of humanity is made in the image of God.

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:58.739
 And equally shares the dignity of that special status in God's creation.

00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:02.299
 It is not unique to the male.

00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.619
 It is equally shared male and female.

00:22:07.139 --> 00:22:11.099
 And here we see that foundation being built upon.

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.319
 In the way that God created the woman.

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:20.819
 Adam was formed from the dust.

00:22:22.919 --> 00:22:24.240
 Eve was made from Adam.

00:22:25.419 --> 00:22:26.639
 Why does that matter?

00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.519
 Well for a few reasons.

00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:33.339
 One, it matters in the sense that Eve was in Adam.

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:39.819
 Like we are in Adam as the covenant head of the human race.

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.759
 It's important.

00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:42.799
 There's not two covenant heads here.

00:22:43.099 --> 00:22:45.460
 There's one covenant head in Adam.

00:22:45.679 --> 00:22:48.079
 Eve comes from him.

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.919
 That's essential for us to understand.

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:57.300
 But it also means that she was made of the same stuff as him.

00:22:58.259 --> 00:22:59.980
 She is like him.

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:05.620
 She shares a nature with him.

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.220
 And what's the deal with this rib?

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:10.940
 So weird.

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:14.480
 Is it though?

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.820
 She is equal to him.

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:26.460
 Famously, the Puritan Matthew Henry wrote,

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:31.319
 Eve was not made out of his head to top him.

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.740
 Not out of his feet to be trampled on by him.

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:41.419
 But out of his side to be equal with him.

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:45.300
 Under his arm to be protected.

00:23:46.300 --> 00:23:49.460
 Near his heart to be loved.

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:53.039
 Who knew Puritans could be so romantic?

00:23:56.140 --> 00:24:01.200
 We must affirm the essential equality of the woman.

00:24:02.840 --> 00:24:07.560
 We must also affirm the necessity of distinction

00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:11.200
 between male and female in God's design.

00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:18.120
 God designed the woman as an equal counterpart to the man.

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.740
 Meaning she must be like him.

00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:23.300
 Yet she must also be distinct from him.

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:26.480
 And how is it that she is distinct from him?

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:29.539
 Well, of course she's distinct biologically.

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:35.519
 So that the creation mandate to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.500
 might actually be fulfilled.

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:40.039
 Can't do that with another man.

00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:46.120
 She's also distinct in what I'm calling just basic constitution.

00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:55.460
 Which is to say that her intuitions and her gifts are unique to God's design for womanhood

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:58.200
 in the flourishing of human life.

00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:03.640
 Another way to say it is Jared would make a terrible mother.

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:07.740
 And Julie would be a terrible father.

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:13.160
 Not because there's something less or greater in either one of us.

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:19.360
 But there's something unique in the basic constitution with which God has created us

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.240
 to fulfill the purpose and function that he has assigned to us.

00:25:25.639 --> 00:25:27.579
 She's also unique in function.

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.139
 This is where people get hung up, isn't it?

00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:32.879
 We shouldn't get hung up on this.

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:35.099
 She is unique in function.

00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:38.240
 She's filling a role that is distinct from the man's.

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:46.259
 She was not created to be a prophet, priest, and king like Adam.

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:49.579
 The garden already has one of those.

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.980
 Doesn't need another one.

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:58.859
 She can't be a helper fit for Adam to glorify God with a shared purpose

00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:01.859
 if her function is the same.

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.859
 Doesn't work.

00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:07.699
 She was to live alongside of him.

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:13.019
 Alongside of him as a recipient of God's blessings

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:20.099
 through the high calling of the prophet, priest, and king of the garden.

00:26:22.899 --> 00:26:28.259
 No distinction in humanities then meant to diminish

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:32.779
 or magnify an individual's dignity before God.

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:35.480
 That's not what the distinction is there for.

00:26:35.899 --> 00:26:39.339
 No part of humanity, whether it be the difference in male and female,

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.200
 whether it be the difference in old or young,

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.720
 whether it be the difference in ethnicity and culture, doesn't matter.

00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:50.700
 No part of humanity is intrinsically superior to

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:53.980
 or inferior to any other part of humanity.

00:26:53.980 --> 00:27:00.240
 Everything that we affirm about the distinction of the sexes

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:08.839
 must rest on the foundation of man and woman's essential equality of dignity before God.

00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:17.019
 Man's function as prophet, priest, and king does not make him greater than the woman.

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:24.639
 Each stands equal before God.

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:33.180
 Each is assigned a unique and necessary function in God's design for our good.

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:37.380
 Take one away and we fail.

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:42.440
 Try to cross them over and it won't work.

00:27:43.140 --> 00:27:44.560
 Make them ambiguous.

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:47.180
 It won't work.

00:27:48.380 --> 00:27:49.779
 This is God's design.

00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:51.440
 It's for our good.

00:27:51.440 --> 00:28:02.160
 And before we move on, if I can just say to every woman, girl in this room,

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.720
 whether you're a wife or whether you're in middle school, high school or single, whatever,

00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:16.420
 you are inferior to no one.

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:23.759
 That's not me as a girl, dad, wanting to build up the little girls in our room.

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:26.200
 That's God's word.

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:35.980
 You have an equal share in dignity because you are made in the image of God.

00:28:37.340 --> 00:28:43.480
 You have an equal share in the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:48.779
 As Paul tells us in Galatians 3, in Christ, there is no male and female.

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:51.059
 We are one in Christ.

00:28:53.759 --> 00:29:01.519
 But I want to also say, your femaleness is a gift.

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:06.880
 It is a gift from God that is to be honored.

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:09.819
 It is a gift from God to be cherished.

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:16.899
 It is a gift from God to be celebrated, not just by your husband, not just by your culture, by you.

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:19.720
 You need to own it.

00:29:19.919 --> 00:29:20.899
 It is a gift.

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:23.779
 And you need to glorify God with it.

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:30.079
 Indeed, as we understand Genesis 1 and 2 coming together in one unit, what is it that we find?

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:36.759
 Womanhood is a glorious work of God, apart from which God cannot evaluate it as very good.

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.460
 It can't be very good without her.

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.819
 It can't be very good without you.

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:45.359
 And you need to know that.

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:50.019
 And you need to love it and cherish it and honor it in the way that you glorify God with your life.

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:54.740
 Third, we see a sacred union.

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.079
 There's a missing counterpart.

00:29:56.879 --> 00:29:57.019
 Okay?

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.140
 Something's wrong.

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:59.319
 Needs to be fixed.

00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.119
 There's a divine provision.

00:30:02.439 --> 00:30:08.899
 God provides the solution, which is perfect and glorious in more ways than we can probably even discern.

00:30:09.939 --> 00:30:10.960
 But there's more.

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.000
 There's a sacred union here, isn't there?

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:17.559
 Look at verse 22 or 23, excuse me.

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:24.579
 Then the man said, this at last, at last.

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.579
 This bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:37.679
 And he evaluates her with all the curiosity and examination that he had done with each animal that God had brought before him.

00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:39.679
 And he gets to the conclusion of his evaluation.

00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.799
 And he says, she must be called woman.

00:30:44.320 --> 00:30:46.140
 She simply means out of man.

00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:49.259
 She's like me.

00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:52.720
 She's for me.

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:54.880
 We'll call her woman.

00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.779
 Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and old fast to his wife.

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:03.539
 And they shall become one flesh.

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:11.680
 Life was not good for the man, so God provides a perfect solution in a woman.

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:14.399
 But one final step is necessary.

00:31:14.639 --> 00:31:22.859
 God brings the two into a sacred and covenantal union that has shaped human life ever since.

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:27.700
 Notice Adam's response here.

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.559
 It's exuberant.

00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:31.079
 It's joyful.

00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.359
 It jumps off the page.

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:37.099
 At last, one who is like me.

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:43.980
 The same authority and careful consideration that he's already demonstrated.

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:45.119
 He names her woman.

00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:50.559
 He immediately recognizes her glory and her purpose.

00:31:51.639 --> 00:31:56.220
 She was like him, and yet she was distinct from him.

00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.680
 And she was for him.

00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.960
 Not as a possession.

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:03.820
 But as a partner.

00:32:06.820 --> 00:32:09.320
 His reaction jumps off the page.

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:12.279
 It's an expression of serious delight.

00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:15.820
 Men, you need to see this.

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:20.500
 It was truly love at first sight.

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:21.039
 It was truly love at first sight.

00:32:22.879 --> 00:32:29.159
 A love that's not only felt by the man, but demonstrated in the way that he understands her,

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:32.939
 in the way that he speaks of her, in the way that he embraces her,

00:32:33.099 --> 00:32:36.539
 in the way that he delights in her.

00:32:36.539 --> 00:32:48.619
 Here is a man who understood the glory of his wife and her presence and purpose overwhelmed him with joy.

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:55.720
 A lesson for every man in this room that has an ear to hear.

00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.420
 Some of us need this text.

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:10.980
 We need it to remind us of our own inadequacy so that we might rejoice in our wives anew.

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:27.180
 When's the last time you looked at your wife with this kind of joy for who she is and who God created her to be for you,

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:38.400
 not as an inferior, not as a possession, but as a partner in glorifying and imaging God?

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:51.640
 When's the last time you were so joyfully exuberant in your wife that you told somebody else how wonderful she is?

00:33:52.680 --> 00:34:02.220
 That you embraced her and delighted in her rather than being annoyed by her or complaining about her?

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:17.500
 The final two verses apply then how the man and the woman relate to one another in covenantal union.

00:34:19.220 --> 00:34:20.699
 The first marriage.

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.679
 What's the nature of God's design in this marriage?

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:36.879
 First marriage requires a suitable counterpart so that we understand the union of male and female to be essential in God's plan.

00:34:38.259 --> 00:34:48.719
 In other words, any other attempts at a marital union that is not a man and a woman, a male and a female,

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:53.339
 are perversions of God's good design.

00:34:53.340 --> 00:35:06.019
 We also see marriage requires a realignment of relational priorities.

00:35:07.300 --> 00:35:11.880
 Notice what Moses as narrator gives to us in verse 24.

00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:16.500
 Therefore, therefore, because of all of this, Moses says,

00:35:16.900 --> 00:35:26.000
 a man must leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife.

00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:32.680
 That the man is to leave his father and mother, it doesn't mean abandoning your family.

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:34.119
 That's not what this means.

00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.839
 In one sense, it means grow up.

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:43.380
 But in a much deeper sense, in a much more significant sense,

00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:47.839
 it means to realign your relational priorities

00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:54.559
 so that your wife becomes your highest priority.

00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:00.139
 She then becomes your most treasured relationship.

00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:07.179
 Not to the diminishment of your mom for you mama's boys,

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:10.559
 but to the glory of her,

00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:14.199
 her role in your life.

00:36:15.799 --> 00:36:19.139
 A faithful and joyful marriage that glorifies God

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:23.099
 is marked by this relational realignment,

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:28.599
 the two prioritizing each other over parents,

00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:32.980
 over friendships,

00:36:34.659 --> 00:36:39.139
 over children.

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:49.519
 Your kids are not the most important relationship you have

00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.519
 if you're married.

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.519
 It's not.

00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.039
 And I have $3 and I love them.

00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:01.780
 But one day, they won't be mine anymore.

00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:05.059
 Do you know who will always be mine?

00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:06.599
 Her.

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:08.219
 Always.

00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:13.420
 She is my priority

00:37:13.420 --> 00:37:16.179
 above every other relationship.

00:37:16.179 --> 00:37:21.319
 If you look at divorce rates and reasons for it,

00:37:22.019 --> 00:37:23.599
 this is a big issue.

00:37:25.739 --> 00:37:27.599
 Some can't leave their parents

00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:31.559
 so they don't prioritize their husband or their wife

00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:33.339
 and it ends in divorce.

00:37:34.259 --> 00:37:35.639
 Some, it's not about their parents.

00:37:35.759 --> 00:37:37.399
 It's just about clinging to this life

00:37:37.399 --> 00:37:39.199
 that was theirs before they got married

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.039
 and they want so much to hold on

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.359
 to all these other relationships,

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:44.079
 friendships or coworkers,

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.559
 whatever it is that they neglect

00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:48.980
 to prioritize their husband and their wife

00:37:48.980 --> 00:37:50.559
 in the way that they should.

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.139
 It ruins their marriage.

00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:57.500
 For many,

00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:59.500
 it's the kids.

00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:03.719
 Divorce statistics tell us

00:38:03.719 --> 00:38:07.480
 that the age for divorce

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.900
 is middle age and higher.

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:11.099
 Why?

00:38:11.099 --> 00:38:13.659
 The kids are finally gone.

00:38:16.779 --> 00:38:17.960
 And here's two people

00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:19.559
 that for 20 or 25 years

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:21.039
 have prioritized the kids

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:22.819
 over their own relationship

00:38:22.819 --> 00:38:24.079
 and they get to the end of it.

00:38:24.319 --> 00:38:26.119
 The thing that they really love has left

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:26.980
 and they look at the other

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.279
 and say,

00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:28.079
 I don't want this anymore.

00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.279
 I'm done.

00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:32.400
 That is not God's design.

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.519
 But the most significant part

00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.039
 of this covenantal union here

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.340
 is this two becoming one.

00:38:44.240 --> 00:38:45.619
 One flesh, he says.

00:38:45.740 --> 00:38:46.059
 24.

00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:48.700
 A man shall leave his father and his mother.

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:50.760
 He shall hold fast to his wife.

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:52.840
 The onus on that, men, is you.

00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:59.500
 But then the two become one flesh.

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:02.579
 On the most basic level,

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:06.159
 this refers to the physical sexual union

00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:07.780
 between a man and a woman

00:39:07.780 --> 00:39:09.619
 in covenant marriage.

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.800
 It's not less than that.

00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:12.500
 It's more than that.

00:39:12.539 --> 00:39:13.400
 It's not less than that.

00:39:14.780 --> 00:39:17.300
 It grounds our understanding of how

00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:21.340
 and with whom sex is to be enjoyed.

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:25.120
 But this one flesh union

00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:26.380
 is about far more

00:39:26.380 --> 00:39:29.100
 than physical sexual intimacy.

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:32.440
 It is a spiritual fusion

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:36.519
 wherein the two become one.

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:38.620
 It's a deep communion

00:39:38.620 --> 00:39:40.880
 between a man and a woman

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:44.320
 that images the plurality of unity

00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.500
 that exists in the triune God.

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:51.079
 It's a spiritual union.

00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:52.619
 It's something that happens

00:39:52.619 --> 00:39:54.760
 that's beyond your control

00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:57.360
 because God designed it to function

00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:59.719
 and to happen in a particular way.

00:40:01.780 --> 00:40:03.480
 It's not a relationship

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:05.739
 that can be entered into

00:40:05.739 --> 00:40:07.420
 and exited on a whim.

00:40:08.420 --> 00:40:10.360
 It's a sacred covenant

00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:12.840
 with such significance

00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:14.139
 that it's on the basis

00:40:14.139 --> 00:40:16.039
 of this very verse

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.279
 that Jesus would later declare

00:40:18.279 --> 00:40:20.900
 what God has joined together.

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.159
 Do not let man separate.

00:40:25.359 --> 00:40:27.859
 This union is a covenantal union.

00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.519
 It is bigger than you seeing someone

00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:31.659
 that you're attracted to

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:32.099
 and saying,

00:40:32.379 --> 00:40:34.559
 I choose her or I choose him.

00:40:34.619 --> 00:40:35.539
 It's bigger than that.

00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:37.980
 This is something that God does.

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:41.900
 Jesus says what God has joined together

00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:43.559
 in this marriage.

00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:45.239
 These two individuals

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:46.420
 are not to separate.

00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:48.840
 It matters.

00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:50.500
 It's bigger than you think it is.

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:53.380
 I think most marriages struggle

00:40:53.380 --> 00:40:55.519
 because they fail to recognize this.

00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:56.539
 They fail to understand

00:40:56.539 --> 00:40:57.539
 and acknowledge it.

00:40:58.579 --> 00:40:59.779
 Too many of us

00:40:59.779 --> 00:41:01.539
 are attempting to maintain

00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:04.039
 an individual identity,

00:41:04.659 --> 00:41:06.639
 an individual autonomy

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:08.799
 from our spouse,

00:41:09.099 --> 00:41:10.380
 which is not at all

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:11.279
 what God intended.

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:15.720
 I like how Andrew Peterson

00:41:15.720 --> 00:41:19.160
 says it in his song,

00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:20.280
 Dancing in the Minefields.

00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:23.140
 He says,

00:41:23.240 --> 00:41:25.920
 I do are the two most famous last words,

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.080
 the beginning of the end.

00:41:31.720 --> 00:41:32.760
 Do you understand what he means?

00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:34.400
 Last words.

00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:36.500
 You say I do,

00:41:36.500 --> 00:41:38.019
 you make the covenant

00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:39.099
 and you die.

00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.079
 But to lose yourself

00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:44.199
 for another I've heard,

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:44.739
 he writes,

00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:47.099
 is a good place to begin.

00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:48.860
 So good.

00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:51.940
 So good.

00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:54.820
 When you join together

00:41:54.820 --> 00:41:55.699
 with your spouse,

00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:57.079
 you died.

00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.880
 But you receive something

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.679
 far greater.

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:04.559
 Two becomes one

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:05.659
 in a way that you will never

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:07.079
 experience with another person.

00:42:09.259 --> 00:42:10.860
 But is there a greater goal

00:42:10.860 --> 00:42:11.480
 to this?

00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:14.639
 What is the telos

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:15.460
 of all of this?

00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:18.380
 Ultimately,

00:42:18.659 --> 00:42:19.840
 it all points to Jesus.

00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:22.659
 The greater Adam.

00:42:22.659 --> 00:42:25.759
 In Ephesians 5,

00:42:25.899 --> 00:42:26.739
 Paul wrote that

00:42:26.739 --> 00:42:28.039
 the one flesh union

00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:28.739
 of marriage

00:42:28.739 --> 00:42:30.920
 symbolizes for us,

00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.779
 it points for us

00:42:32.779 --> 00:42:34.319
 to the union of Christ

00:42:34.319 --> 00:42:35.819
 and his bride,

00:42:36.359 --> 00:42:37.359
 the church.

00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:40.159
 And he quotes this verse

00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.019
 and then he says,

00:42:42.659 --> 00:42:44.739
 this mystery is profound

00:42:44.739 --> 00:42:46.039
 and I'm saying

00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:47.699
 that it refers to Christ

00:42:47.699 --> 00:42:49.119
 and the church.

00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:50.399
 How, Paul?

00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:54.660
 Jesus loves his bride

00:42:54.660 --> 00:42:55.500
 so much

00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:56.900
 that he gave

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:57.940
 his very life

00:42:57.940 --> 00:42:59.099
 for her.

00:43:01.160 --> 00:43:02.320
 He died.

00:43:04.980 --> 00:43:06.420
 He went to the cross

00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:08.619
 to pay for her sins.

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:13.340
 Not so that he could tell

00:43:13.340 --> 00:43:14.400
 everybody else

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:15.880
 how great her sins are

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.660
 and how annoying

00:43:16.660 --> 00:43:17.680
 that is to him

00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:18.400
 and how he wished

00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:19.200
 she was better

00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:20.839
 than what she is.

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.419
 He goes to the cross

00:43:22.419 --> 00:43:23.259
 and he pays

00:43:23.259 --> 00:43:24.419
 for her sins

00:43:24.419 --> 00:43:25.219
 in order that

00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:26.960
 she might be forgiven

00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:28.419
 and she might be

00:43:28.419 --> 00:43:29.439
 sanctified

00:43:29.439 --> 00:43:30.359
 and he might

00:43:30.359 --> 00:43:32.039
 present her then

00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:33.559
 not as blemished

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:34.899
 and scarred

00:43:34.899 --> 00:43:35.859
 and broken

00:43:35.859 --> 00:43:37.359
 but as whole

00:43:37.359 --> 00:43:38.559
 and as holy

00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:40.179
 and as blameless

00:43:40.179 --> 00:43:41.039
 on account

00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:42.159
 of his righteousness.

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.539
 That's what this is about.

00:43:45.539 --> 00:43:50.380
 we are living parables

00:43:50.380 --> 00:43:52.699
 of the goodness

00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:53.460
 of God

00:43:53.460 --> 00:43:54.940
 in the person

00:43:54.940 --> 00:43:55.619
 of Christ

00:43:55.619 --> 00:43:57.840
 and some of us

00:43:57.840 --> 00:43:58.759
 are telling

00:43:58.759 --> 00:44:00.460
 awful lies

00:44:00.460 --> 00:44:01.420
 about Jesus

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:02.460
 in the way

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:03.139
 that we're approaching

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:03.739
 our marriage.

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:08.719
 Jesus loves

00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:09.539
 his bride

00:44:09.539 --> 00:44:10.820
 as his own

00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:11.719
 flesh

00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:13.000
 Paul says

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.079
 for just

00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:15.980
 as Adam

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:17.059
 was united

00:44:17.059 --> 00:44:18.079
 to Eve

00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:18.940
 in this union

00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:20.099
 those who believe

00:44:20.099 --> 00:44:20.840
 are brought

00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:21.920
 into a spiritual

00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:22.699
 union

00:44:22.699 --> 00:44:23.980
 with him

00:44:23.980 --> 00:44:24.760
 that cannot

00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:25.639
 be broken

00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:26.980
 and will not

00:44:26.980 --> 00:44:27.659
 be broken

00:44:27.659 --> 00:44:30.019
 and it is

00:44:30.019 --> 00:44:31.000
 in this way

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:32.880
 by looking

00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:33.820
 at the example

00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:34.599
 of Christ

00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:36.460
 husbands are

00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:37.460
 to love their wives

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:38.860
 and wives

00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:39.420
 are to love

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:40.239
 their husbands.

00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.339
 marriage then

00:44:43.339 --> 00:44:45.239
 in God's design

00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:47.479
 is a gospel

00:44:47.479 --> 00:44:48.539
 shaped

00:44:48.539 --> 00:44:49.599
 union

00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:51.399
 that displays

00:44:51.399 --> 00:44:52.199
 the glory

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:53.059
 of Jesus

00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:54.859
 and his bride

00:44:54.859 --> 00:44:57.079
 to the world.

00:45:01.279 --> 00:45:02.099
 Now in our culture

00:45:02.099 --> 00:45:02.579
 of course

00:45:02.579 --> 00:45:03.519
 and perhaps

00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:04.059
 even in some

00:45:04.059 --> 00:45:04.579
 of our homes

00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:05.079
 I don't know

00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:06.659
 maybe you'll talk

00:45:06.659 --> 00:45:07.079
 about this

00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:07.459
 on your way

00:45:07.459 --> 00:45:07.919
 home today.

00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:10.959
 there is an

00:45:10.959 --> 00:45:12.259
 obvious tension

00:45:12.259 --> 00:45:15.059
 surrounding the

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:15.659
 issues of

00:45:15.659 --> 00:45:16.259
 sexuality

00:45:16.259 --> 00:45:17.259
 and marriage

00:45:17.259 --> 00:45:17.839
 we understand

00:45:17.839 --> 00:45:18.539
 that we know

00:45:18.539 --> 00:45:19.000
 it's true.

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:22.159
 We need to

00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:22.839
 acknowledge that

00:45:22.839 --> 00:45:23.559
 the tension

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:24.599
 that we feel

00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:25.539
 in this

00:45:25.539 --> 00:45:27.699
 is not the

00:45:27.699 --> 00:45:28.519
 result of a

00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:29.500
 flaw in God's

00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:30.019
 design

00:45:30.019 --> 00:45:31.919
 it's actually

00:45:31.919 --> 00:45:32.879
 born of

00:45:32.879 --> 00:45:33.679
 man's fallen

00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:34.319
 nature

00:45:34.319 --> 00:45:36.099
 and sin.

00:45:37.299 --> 00:45:38.199
 The tension

00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:39.079
 you feel

00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.619
 in resisting

00:45:41.619 --> 00:45:43.259
 this presentation

00:45:43.259 --> 00:45:43.980
 the Bible's

00:45:43.980 --> 00:45:44.439
 presentation

00:45:44.439 --> 00:45:45.199
 of human

00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:45.639
 sexuality

00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:46.259
 and of

00:45:46.259 --> 00:45:46.659
 marriage

00:45:46.659 --> 00:45:47.519
 is not

00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:48.139
 because it's

00:45:48.139 --> 00:45:48.739
 actually a

00:45:48.739 --> 00:45:49.119
 problem

00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:49.639
 it's because

00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:50.279
 you are a

00:45:50.279 --> 00:45:50.599
 problem

00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:52.980
 and I'm a

00:45:52.980 --> 00:45:53.339
 problem

00:45:53.339 --> 00:45:55.539
 we're sinners

00:45:55.539 --> 00:45:58.920
 since the

00:45:58.920 --> 00:45:59.199
 fall

00:45:59.199 --> 00:45:59.500
 this

00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:00.539
 essential

00:46:00.539 --> 00:46:01.820
 equality

00:46:01.820 --> 00:46:02.619
 and dignity

00:46:02.619 --> 00:46:03.360
 between men

00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:03.800
 and women

00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:04.340
 has been

00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:05.059
 diminished

00:46:05.059 --> 00:46:05.659
 by both

00:46:05.659 --> 00:46:06.300
 hate-filled

00:46:06.300 --> 00:46:07.139
 misogyny

00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:08.539
 which is

00:46:08.539 --> 00:46:09.460
 getting

00:46:09.460 --> 00:46:10.420
 rampant

00:46:10.420 --> 00:46:10.880
 among

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.420
 Christians

00:46:11.420 --> 00:46:11.800
 at the

00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:12.099
 moment

00:46:12.099 --> 00:46:16.480
 but it's

00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:17.000
 the same

00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:17.659
 with radical

00:46:17.659 --> 00:46:18.259
 feminism

00:46:18.260 --> 00:46:21.940
 both

00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:22.200
 are

00:46:22.200 --> 00:46:23.160
 diminishing

00:46:23.160 --> 00:46:23.820
 the

00:46:23.820 --> 00:46:24.400
 essential

00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:25.080
 equality

00:46:25.080 --> 00:46:25.420
 of

00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:25.820
 dignity

00:46:25.820 --> 00:46:26.080
 that

00:46:26.080 --> 00:46:26.440
 exists

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:26.720
 within

00:46:26.720 --> 00:46:27.280
 humanity

00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.220
 human

00:46:30.220 --> 00:46:30.700
 sexuality

00:46:30.700 --> 00:46:31.400
 of course

00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:31.780
 has been

00:46:31.780 --> 00:46:32.600
 perverted

00:46:32.600 --> 00:46:32.860
 in the

00:46:32.860 --> 00:46:33.460
 most extreme

00:46:33.460 --> 00:46:33.760
 ways

00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:34.440
 that which

00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:35.180
 God designed

00:46:35.180 --> 00:46:35.640
 to be

00:46:35.640 --> 00:46:36.280
 enjoyed

00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:37.140
 within the

00:46:37.140 --> 00:46:37.400
 covenant

00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:37.960
 of marriage

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:38.520
 continues

00:46:38.520 --> 00:46:38.940
 to be

00:46:38.940 --> 00:46:39.660
 defiled

00:46:39.660 --> 00:46:40.000
 in

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.560
 unimaginable

00:46:41.560 --> 00:46:42.220
 ways

00:46:42.220 --> 00:46:45.420
 within

00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:46.080
 marriage

00:46:46.080 --> 00:46:46.520
 we'll see

00:46:46.520 --> 00:46:47.040
 this again

00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:47.400
 in chapter

00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:47.740
 three

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.219
 but within

00:46:48.219 --> 00:46:48.639
 marriage

00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:49.299
 husbands

00:46:49.299 --> 00:46:50.399
 and wives

00:46:50.399 --> 00:46:51.879
 seek to

00:46:51.879 --> 00:46:52.459
 dominate

00:46:52.459 --> 00:46:53.500
 each other

00:46:53.500 --> 00:46:55.099
 for their

00:46:55.099 --> 00:46:55.359
 own

00:46:55.359 --> 00:46:55.839
 personal

00:46:55.839 --> 00:46:56.319
 gain

00:46:56.319 --> 00:47:00.279
 God

00:47:00.279 --> 00:47:00.779
 shows us

00:47:00.779 --> 00:47:01.099
 a better

00:47:01.099 --> 00:47:01.619
 way here

00:47:01.619 --> 00:47:03.119
 he shows

00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:03.459
 us the

00:47:03.459 --> 00:47:03.819
 good

00:47:03.819 --> 00:47:04.439
 and righteous

00:47:04.439 --> 00:47:04.939
 way

00:47:04.939 --> 00:47:06.739
 so that

00:47:06.739 --> 00:47:07.139
 in his

00:47:07.139 --> 00:47:07.639
 design

00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:08.539
 male and

00:47:08.539 --> 00:47:08.919
 female

00:47:08.919 --> 00:47:09.459
 share

00:47:09.459 --> 00:47:09.839
 an

00:47:09.839 --> 00:47:10.319
 essential

00:47:10.319 --> 00:47:11.339
 dignity

00:47:11.339 --> 00:47:12.619
 that bears

00:47:12.619 --> 00:47:13.339
 his image

00:47:13.339 --> 00:47:14.639
 but they're

00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:15.539
 also designed

00:47:15.539 --> 00:47:16.259
 gloriously

00:47:16.259 --> 00:47:16.899
 distinct

00:47:16.899 --> 00:47:17.319
 from one

00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:17.620
 another

00:47:17.620 --> 00:47:18.539
 in personhood

00:47:18.539 --> 00:47:19.300
 and in

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:19.900
 purpose

00:47:19.900 --> 00:47:20.660
 and God

00:47:20.660 --> 00:47:21.740
 gifts them

00:47:21.740 --> 00:47:22.880
 uniquely

00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.620
 he assigns

00:47:24.620 --> 00:47:25.120
 them a

00:47:25.120 --> 00:47:25.600
 function

00:47:25.600 --> 00:47:26.500
 that when

00:47:26.500 --> 00:47:27.160
 properly

00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:28.059
 served

00:47:28.059 --> 00:47:29.039
 makes them

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:30.039
 wonderfully

00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:31.340
 complimentary

00:47:31.340 --> 00:47:32.580
 counterparts

00:47:32.579 --> 00:47:36.299
 the man

00:47:36.299 --> 00:47:37.299
 husband

00:47:37.299 --> 00:47:38.920
 is to

00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:39.340
 function

00:47:39.340 --> 00:47:40.079
 as a

00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:40.500
 prophet

00:47:40.500 --> 00:47:41.460
 priest

00:47:41.460 --> 00:47:42.519
 and king

00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:43.279
 in his

00:47:43.279 --> 00:47:43.659
 home

00:47:43.659 --> 00:47:44.920
 exercising

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:45.679
 authority

00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:46.619
 so that

00:47:46.619 --> 00:47:47.340
 he might

00:47:47.340 --> 00:47:48.159
 love

00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.139
 and serve

00:47:50.139 --> 00:47:51.539
 his wife

00:47:51.539 --> 00:47:52.719
 not dominate

00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:53.019
 her

00:47:53.019 --> 00:47:56.299
 the woman

00:47:56.299 --> 00:47:57.759
 has been

00:47:57.759 --> 00:47:58.380
 the perfect

00:47:58.380 --> 00:47:59.159
 counterpart

00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:01.019
 standing

00:48:01.019 --> 00:48:01.039
 standing

00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:01.739
 alongside

00:48:01.739 --> 00:48:02.239
 her

00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:02.619
 husband

00:48:02.619 --> 00:48:03.119
 to

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:03.679
 complete

00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:04.019
 what

00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:04.279
 he

00:48:04.279 --> 00:48:04.920
 lacks

00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:05.539
 and

00:48:05.539 --> 00:48:06.639
 receive

00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:07.719
 God's

00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:08.379
 blessings

00:48:08.379 --> 00:48:09.319
 through

00:48:09.319 --> 00:48:09.759
 him

00:48:09.759 --> 00:48:13.639
 and

00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:14.319
 rather than

00:48:14.319 --> 00:48:14.799
 attempting

00:48:14.799 --> 00:48:15.960
 to dominate

00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:16.579
 the other

00:48:16.579 --> 00:48:17.379
 God

00:48:17.379 --> 00:48:17.960
 designed

00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:18.399
 us

00:48:18.399 --> 00:48:18.899
 to

00:48:18.899 --> 00:48:19.579
 recognize

00:48:19.579 --> 00:48:21.059
 and value

00:48:21.059 --> 00:48:22.059
 the significance

00:48:22.059 --> 00:48:23.079
 of the other

00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:23.880
 and then

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:24.460
 to use

00:48:24.460 --> 00:48:24.679
 our

00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:25.380
 distinct

00:48:25.380 --> 00:48:25.980
 gifts

00:48:25.980 --> 00:48:26.739
 and our

00:48:26.739 --> 00:48:27.179
 unique

00:48:27.179 --> 00:48:27.840
 function

00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:29.000
 to love

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:29.519
 and serve

00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:30.019
 the other

00:48:30.019 --> 00:48:31.159
 for their

00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:31.659
 good

00:48:31.659 --> 00:48:33.900
 so that

00:48:33.900 --> 00:48:34.460
 we might

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:35.099
 lead

00:48:35.099 --> 00:48:36.239
 for her

00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:36.960
 good men

00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:37.639
 so that

00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:38.199
 we might

00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:38.819
 help

00:48:38.819 --> 00:48:39.639
 for his

00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:40.099
 good

00:48:40.099 --> 00:48:41.179
 ladies

00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:43.400
 and this

00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:43.739
 is all

00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:44.179
 in God's

00:48:44.179 --> 00:48:44.519
 design

00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:46.119
 and no

00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:46.619
 one should

00:48:46.619 --> 00:48:47.259
 care about

00:48:47.259 --> 00:48:47.799
 it more

00:48:47.799 --> 00:48:48.759
 and be

00:48:48.759 --> 00:48:49.420
 more

00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:50.440
 convictionally

00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:51.119
 sincere

00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:51.779
 about it

00:48:51.779 --> 00:48:52.739
 than Christians

00:48:52.739 --> 00:48:56.139
 not only

00:48:56.139 --> 00:48:56.419
 do we

00:48:56.419 --> 00:48:56.879
 recognize

00:48:56.879 --> 00:48:57.519
 God's

00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:57.959
 ways

00:48:57.959 --> 00:48:58.759
 as key

00:48:58.759 --> 00:48:59.259
 to human

00:48:59.259 --> 00:48:59.759
 flourishing

00:48:59.759 --> 00:49:00.099
 but when

00:49:00.099 --> 00:49:00.759
 we live

00:49:00.759 --> 00:49:01.599
 in according

00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:02.239
 to God's

00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:02.819
 design

00:49:02.819 --> 00:49:03.919
 we display

00:49:03.919 --> 00:49:04.639
 the glory

00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:05.099
 of the

00:49:05.099 --> 00:49:05.559
 gospel

00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:06.719
 of Jesus

00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:07.699
 and his

00:49:07.699 --> 00:49:08.399
 love

00:49:08.399 --> 00:49:09.159
 for his

00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:09.679
 people

00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:12.659
 and no

00:49:12.659 --> 00:49:13.299
 marriage

00:49:13.299 --> 00:49:14.919
 achieves

00:49:14.919 --> 00:49:15.299
 this

00:49:15.299 --> 00:49:16.500
 perfectly

00:49:16.500 --> 00:49:17.799
 I don't

00:49:17.799 --> 00:49:18.059
 want you

00:49:18.059 --> 00:49:18.279
 to get

00:49:18.279 --> 00:49:18.599
 the wrong

00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:18.939
 idea

00:49:18.939 --> 00:49:20.979
 you're

00:49:20.979 --> 00:49:21.179
 going to

00:49:21.179 --> 00:49:21.659
 fail

00:49:21.659 --> 00:49:22.960
 again

00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:24.039
 and again

00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:25.299
 and again

00:49:25.299 --> 00:49:26.159
 at this

00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:31.759
 we're

00:49:31.759 --> 00:49:32.279
 sinners

00:49:32.279 --> 00:49:32.759
 prone

00:49:32.759 --> 00:49:33.279
 to fall

00:49:33.279 --> 00:49:33.779
 into the

00:49:33.779 --> 00:49:34.079
 same

00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:34.579
 ditches

00:49:34.579 --> 00:49:34.980
 that Adam

00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:35.279
 and Eve

00:49:35.279 --> 00:49:35.859
 fell in

00:49:35.859 --> 00:49:37.339
 and yet

00:49:37.339 --> 00:49:37.980
 each of us

00:49:37.980 --> 00:49:38.299
 is to

00:49:38.299 --> 00:49:38.719
 pursue

00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:39.239
 this

00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:40.559
 we're

00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:41.199
 to continue

00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:42.000
 to persist

00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:42.299
 in it

00:49:42.299 --> 00:49:42.799
 and pursue

00:49:42.799 --> 00:49:43.219
 it

00:49:43.219 --> 00:49:44.399
 in love

00:49:44.399 --> 00:49:45.819
 in faith

00:49:45.819 --> 00:49:48.139
 in repentance

00:49:48.139 --> 00:49:48.879
 towards one

00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:49.240
 another

00:49:49.240 --> 00:49:50.840
 and forgiveness

00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:53.019
 and we

00:49:53.019 --> 00:49:53.500
 do all

00:49:53.500 --> 00:49:53.880
 of that

00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:54.500
 trusting

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:57.079
 that Christ

00:49:57.079 --> 00:49:58.900
 has paid

00:49:58.900 --> 00:49:59.460
 for every

00:49:59.460 --> 00:49:59.920
 failure

00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:01.640
 for his

00:50:01.640 --> 00:50:01.940
 bride

00:50:01.940 --> 00:50:02.320
 already

00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:04.000
 you will

00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:04.420
 fail

00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:05.760
 but in

00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:06.119
 him

00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:07.320
 you are

00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:07.760
 holy

00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:09.460
 and righteous

00:50:09.460 --> 00:50:11.260
 and forgiven

00:50:11.260 --> 00:50:13.860
 and by

00:50:13.860 --> 00:50:14.680
 his grace

00:50:14.680 --> 00:50:15.960
 we will

00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:16.480
 learn to

00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:16.940
 love

00:50:16.940 --> 00:50:17.980
 and to

00:50:17.980 --> 00:50:18.300
 serve

00:50:18.300 --> 00:50:18.520
 one

00:50:18.520 --> 00:50:18.860
 another

00:50:18.860 --> 00:50:19.980
