Our Bridegroom
There are different identities of Jesus. These identities are revealed to us either through scripture or experiences ( which will be backed by scripture). Many people know Jesus as savior or provider but today I would like to talk about Jesus as our lover.
A lover is someone who lavishes love onto their beloved. Jesus does this to you and I. The biggest evidence of this is when He died on the cross so that we may be saved. Remember, Jesus did not die out of obligation but out of love.
I feel like sometimes it’s a hard concept to grasp.
But it is true. And these days, people throw around the word "love", making it seem very cheap.
But Jesus loves you.
In Ephesians 5:22-23, the church is described as the Bride and Jesus as the Bridegroom. At the end, there’ll be a marriage between the church and Christ ( Revelation 19:7). This is to show that ,as a member of the church, you’re not just an ordinary person to Christ, you are His lover.
This means that you must be intimate with Him
You must find joy in Him
Your peace must be in Him
And He must be Your everything.
Remember, Jesus is your lover.
