Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

Mark 10: Marriage

Dr. Richard Zeile

After the John 2 account of the wedding at Cana where Christ performed His first miracle of turning water into wine, the children's choir sings "Father I Adore You." Dr. Zeile explains the Christian understanding of marriage declared by Christ, "That the two (male & female) become one flesh" for the life of the partners.  It is a truth and ideal very difficult to live up to. The instruction is followed by the hymn of hope, "The King Shall Come when Morning Breaks."
