Marriage in this Age

Answering, Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,”

Luke 20:34

Marriage is a function of our current situation. The Lord has given it to us as a picture of His working in our lives. It is the best illustration of the relationship between Christ and the church that we have on this earth. It is not planned as an eternal institution. There are several things that the New Testament confirms we will be doing in our future eternal state. Marrying and procreating are not among these.

Heavenly Father, thank You for marriage! You are wise and good and have given us such a wonderful thing in marriage. It brings us closer to you, and closer to another person than we would otherwise be. What a joy! Your love for us is great to give us this freedom. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
