What is the evidence of ultimate love?

Is it affection?

Is it romance?

Is it loyalty?

Is it commitment? 

Something else?

The answer can be found in one person. He was the only person to exemplify ultimate love in all of its beauty and radiance. His name is Jesus Christ, and with His life, or perhaps more accurately, His death, He demonstrated the evidence of ultimate love with His SACRIFICE on the cross. 

God calls husbands to look to the image of Jesus Christ in loving their wives. He expects husbands to love their wives sacrificially. He calls them to go against the tide of sin, which causes husbands and wives to each see their own positions as more important than the other. He calls them to put aside their desires and serve their wives, honoring them as treasures entrusted to their keeping by a good and loving God. 

Peter wanted the marriages in his churches to thrive, and he challenged husbands to follow the example of Christ in their marriages, something he knew they could only do through the power of the Holy Spirit. Join us as we consider a husband's responsibility from God's perspective through the writing of Peter and gain an understanding of the immense importance that God places on the role of "husband."
