I will wait... for You

From Caleb's blog... heh



Of the many soundbites in the video, the one which stands out for me is this one:

He couldn't even pray when I needed him to
Asking him to fast would be absurd
So forget about being cleansed and washed with water through the Word

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." - Ephesians 5:25-27 (NIV)

I read somewhere - and agree - that a husband should be a provider, protector, prophet and priest to his wife. The first two are pretty clear. As a prophet, a husband should equip himself to "prophesy" (which simply means "bring forth the Word") to his wife. And as a priest, a husband should perform the priestly function of standing before God and interceding for his wife.

Just as 'Christ Jesus [our Great High Priest], who died - more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us' (Romans 8:34, NIV)!
