Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

This is 66th Lecture on Genesis. In the last lecture, I explained how God created woman with a rib He took from Adam. Genesis 2:24 says, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." People may think this verse only talks about the marriage of a man and a woman. However, this verse is mentioned in Ephesians 5:31.

Ephesians 5:31-32 says, "FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church." In deep inspiration the Apostle Paul understood the spiritual meaning of the verse and confessed that 'the mystery is great'.

Ndugu wapendwa katika Kristo.

Hili ni somo la 66 katika mafundisho ya Mwanzo. Katika somo lililopita nilieleza jinsi Mungu alivyomuumba mwanamke kwa ubavu aliouchukua kutoka kwa Adamu. Mwanzo 2:24 inasema, “Kwa sababu hiyo mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake, ataambatana na mkewe, nao watakuwa mwili mmoja.” Watu wanaweza kudhani kwamba mstari huu unazungumzia tu ndoa ya mwanamume na mwanamke. Hata hivyo, mstari huu umetajwa katika Waefeso 5:31.

Waefeso 5:31–32 inasema, “Kwa sababu hiyo mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake, ataambatana na mkewe, na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja. Siri hiyo ni kubwa; ila mimi nanena habari ya Kristo na Kanisa.” Kwa ufunuo mkuu, mtume Paulo alielewa maana ya kiroho ya mstari huo na kukiri kwamba “siri hiyo ni kubwa.”
