Jonathan concludes the conversation from last week on the significance of being made male and female in the image of God. Working from the ground up, he shows how the male and female body, when united as 'one flesh' is designed, in its original intent, for life and fruitfulness. This reveals much about God's nature as a divine community of love that exists between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He then looks at a often misunderstood passage from Ephesians 5 where Paul speaks of marriage as a profound mystery, or sacrament, which reveals God. However, lest we fall into the trap of thinking marriage is the ultimate goal of human life, he also shows how life in the presence of the future in-breaking kingdom of God relativises singleness and marriage as equally valid ways of expressing Christian faithfulness. In the final analysis, Jonathan argues that the Gospel offers a uniquely liberating path for men and women irrespective of whether they choose to marry or remain celibate in that it reveals the path to satisfying our deepest longings in union with God.
