Not Good To Be Alone

It need not be so. In Christ, separated things are held together, estranged things united. In Christ, men and women now have a common origin. Men are no longer primarily defined by their origin from earth but by union with the heavenly man. Wives are not defined by their origin from the side of the first Adam, since they’re born again of the water and blood from the side of the Last Adam. In Christ, marriage anticipates the reunion of all things; it’s a sign of cosmic peace, a testimony to the gospel’s power to overcome sin, harmonize difference, and sum up all things in one. United in Christ as one flesh, a husband and wife become an epiphany of the God who says Us. They become the good they’re created to be and live a good life, a divine life, together. For who is good but God alone?
