From ‘Wong’ to ‘Ong’ and our prayers and well wishes are now with the bride and groom.
It was a lovely ceremony and fun evening catching up with people and despite a slight head cold I still remember most of the day clearly.
One thing stood out quite clearly for me during the day, and that was something mentioned by the guest speaker giving his words of counsel to the couple. He said that the husband’s role, for the rest of his life, was to lead his wife into Christ-likeness (or something to that effect).
At this point a few thoughts came to mind:
- How can a non-Christian husband lead a Christian wife to Christ-likeness?
- On the other hand, how can a non-Christian wife be lead into Christ-likeness?
- If a husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church, by laying down his life in order to present his church holy and blameless, then how can that happen if the husband does not love Christ (and hence, can not love as he loved?)
What were the thoughts of those in the audience listening to these words who are currently dating or engaged to non-Christians?
