Jesus As The Bridegroom

           Here is the sermon that my parents' church taught us this morning. It was really insightful and meaningful to me. Really showed me another way that God really does love me. It was about Jesus being the bridegroom for all of us. He also used old Jewish wedding traditions back during Jesus' time to explain the relationship Jesus wants to have with us. 

Here are the verses:

-Gen. 2:19-24

          -Main verse used in this part was: verse 24

-Luke 5:22-27

Here is a link you can go to to read about an old Jewish wedding:

-Jesus brought us with a cost, aka the cross, just like a husband brought a wife. 

-Jesus left His 11 "friends" after 40 days.

-Jesus is preparing a place for us in His House.

-Jesus will come back after our place is ready to get us. 

-How does the bride wait for her bridegroom?

             -She gets ready emotionally, physically, and mentally.

             -No one knows when God will return just like the bride waits for her husband.

             -Only the Father knows when the Son will return. 

            -The term of the relationship was seal with the cup and the bread before the groom left. It was sealed for sure. 

We are waiting excitingly for Jesus to come back! 

Challenge question: What are we doing while we wait espically during this time that He has given us to spend time with Him?
