A Dead Bride?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;Ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead.&#8221; (Rom 7:4.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.&#8221; (Eph. 5:25&#8211;read on through verse 32.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> These and other Scriptures compare the spiritual relationship of Christ and His church to the human marriage relationship. That the &#8220;wedding&#8221; is still future is shown by Matt. 22:1-13; 25:1-13; and Rev. 21:2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Was our Lord at any time betrothed to a dead bride? After He gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her by the washing of water in the word, that He might present her to Himself in glory&#8211;after all this, was there ever a time when nowhere on earth could be found a church that could be truly called His bride? Was there ever a time when the only &#8220;Christianity&#8221; on earth was the religion of spiritual harlots? Perish the thought! But if it be so, what are all the churches today but harlots and offspring of harlots?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Thomas E.
