August 2, 2009: You Shall Not Commit Adultery – Michael Hidalgo

The first God ordained institution is marriage. Marriage is a picture of the eternal, and is the vehicle to the mystical union of which Paul speaks. The bond of marriage is one that is so powerful that God chooses to use this as a metaphor for his relationship with his people. This picture occurs at Sinai, at the Last Supper, and ultimately is the consummation of the coming Kingdom. When men and women distort this picture we are altering the picture that God himself has given to us to describe who he is.
