Verse 25
even as Christ
Christ's love-work for the church is threefold: past, present, future:
(1) For love He gave Himself to redeem the church (Ephesians 5:25);
(2) in love He is sanctifying the church (Ephesians 5:26);
(3) for the reward of His sacrifice and labour of love He will present the church to Himself in flawless perfection, "one pearl of great price" (Ephesians 5:27) Matthew 13:46.
