What Does Ephesians 5:30 Mean?
Paul grounds Christ's tender care in union: 'we are members of his body.' Believers are joined to Christ as closely as limbs to a body. He cares for the church as He cares for Himself, because the church is, in this deep sense, His own body.
The language 'of his flesh, and of his bones' echoes the joining of husband and wife as one. The bond between Christ and His people is the most intimate of unions. This is why His love is so tender and sure: He is not caring for strangers but for those who are part of Him, knit to Him in living union.
