Another short thought on marriage...
Who Do You Say...
(Matt. 16:13-16) 13 When Jesus came into the region of
Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the
Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah,
and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God.”
In this passage Jesus asked Peter two questions: 1) Who
do people say that I am? 2) Who do you
say that I am?
I would like to apply these questions to a marriage
context. Based on how you talk about your spouse when he or she is not around,
what do people who have not met your mate think of him or her? Who do you say
your spouse is when you are at work or out with the boys or lunching with the
girls? Will they say she is a nag? Will they say that he is lazy? Or will they
envy your relationship because you speak of how great your spouse is? Is it
possible that they don't even know you are married because you NEVER even
mention having a spouse? Who do you say
your spouse is and how do others think of and speak of your mate based on what
you say?
