Week Seven: His Bride

In John 3:29 it reads: “He that has the Bride is the Bridegroom.”  Who is the Bride and who is the Bridegroom that the Bible talks about? Do you know that all the work that has been laid before you is not only for you? Christ died for you, that was just part of the purchasing plan to redeem you from the enemy that had you enslaved. Since you have been purchased God has desired to clean you up and make you presentable as a Bride is made perfect for her Bridegroom. The Church is his Bride and Jesus is the Bridegroom. We, being the Church, the Body of Christ have been purchased to be the Bride of Christ. We are in the process of being made without spot or wrinkle by the washing of water and will be presented to him at his coming. His Bride will be made ready! He will have his Bride and his Bride will be perfect, they will see him as he is and will be like him when he appears! This week we will study about this preparation process as we wait for Jesus to return and receive us unto him.
