Ephesians 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Dr. Payson, meeting an irreligious lady whose husband was trying to serve God, addressed her thus: "Madam, I think your husband is looking upwards — making some effort to rise above the world towards God and heaven. You must not let him try alone. Whenever I see the husband struggling alone in such efforts, it makes me think of a dove endeavouring to fly upwards while it has one broken wing. It leaps and flutters, and perhaps rises a little way; and then it becomes wearied, and drops back again to the ground. If both wings cooperate, then it mounts easily." Parallel Verses KJV: This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.WEB: This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. |
