“Jesus Christ, the most fully human person who ever lived, was not married.’

Monday is for Discussion

biblical masculinitySomething to inform the same-sex marriage debate:

“Jesus Christ, the most fully human person who ever lived, was not married.”  

—John Piper, in Recovering Biblical Manhood & Womanhood, xvii.

Think about that.  If marriage is not necessary to be fully human, then marriage is not necessary for those with opposite or same-sex attraction to be be fulfilled and fully human.  This is great news for singles of all ages and all sexual attractions.

One thought on ““Jesus Christ, the most fully human person who ever lived, was not married.’”

  1. Thank you for posting this Marty. Gives me even more to think about as I walk this journey without a “help mate” (and, honestly, this nugget of encouragement couldn’t have come at a better time).
