Villas Church

Notice that Paul doesn't say feel love. He says, love your wives. It's a command. It's an action. It's a choice that he's telling you to make. And he compares it to Christ's love. How did Christ love? We know that it Christ didn't love with feelings, but with commitment. He pursued you even while you were a sinner and was willing to be beaten, to be mocked, even crucified for you. That is a life that exemplifies sacrifice. And Paul uses this sacrifice for us as a model of love.
