These concise thoughts are the result of reading a report written by a young man named Blaise Foret. I think he's a student at IHOPU, but I could be wrong... Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about what was said in the paper and through my own reading... and I want to just get my thoughts down.
Jesus is the Bridegroom.
A husband's love for his wife surpasses his love for his children.
Or, at least it should.
Jesus coming as the Church's Bridegroom... mere language... or truth?
[Ephesians 5:22-33]
Christ: His Church
Husbands: Wives
<------------------->
One body...
Mutuality in love...
Mystery: Christ and the Church
--> Communication
--> Emotions [like fire]
Engagement... it creates a longing, a yearning... a deep desire.
[A yearning from and of the Holy Spirit...]
Our desire for the return of Christ, for the marriage to the Bridegroom, will be a "real impartation of hunger that comes from the Holy Spirit..."
[Luke 18:7-8]
A perfect marriage.
Faithful in all facets.
His presence will bring peace and rest.
The cry: "Come!"
