Summary:
Today's sermon develops points five through seven of the exposition of Genesis 2:15-24: 5) the formation of Eve, 6) the recognition (of Eve by Adam), and 7) the universal principle of marriage.
So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said,“This is now bone of my bones,And flesh of my flesh;She shall be called Woman,Because she was taken out of Man.”For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
