The Universal Couple And The Universal Man

THE UNIVERSAL COUPLE AND THE UNIVERSAL MAN

Furthermore, the Bible tells us that in mar riage the two persons of a couple are one flesh (Gen. 2:24; Eph. 5:31). Adam and Eve were one flesh. Since they were one flesh, they were also one man. Likewise, the New Testament reveals that Christ and the church are one spirit (1 Cor. 6:17). Thus, Christ and His chosen people are one universal, corporate man with Christ, the Husband, as the Head (Eph. 4:15) and with the church, the wife, as the Body (1:22-23). Eventu ally, these two become one all-inclusive, univer sal, corporate man. In Ephesians 5 the church is presented as a wife, and in Ephesians 1 the church is presented as the Body of Christ. She is Christ's wife and Christ's Body. Christ is her Husband and her Head. So, Christ and the church are a universal, corporate man. This is the kernel of the divine revelation in the Word of God. The kernel is simply a couple and a man: a couple with the Triune God as the Husband and His chosen people as the wife, and a man with Christ as the Head and with His chosen people as the Body. In the couple the main aspect is love, and

in the man the main aspect is life. This is the central revelation of the whole Bible.
