*The Bride of Christ*
· Prospect of sermon on *Ephesians 5:21-33*!
o Joke?
· Come to the end of the series:
o the Church as */the Bride of Christ/*
· The image is first fully used by Paul, but the idea is much older…
o in the /OT/, God and his people
§ *Song of Songs, Hosea*
o in the /NT/
§ *Gospels (allusion – Matt.
9, 22, 25), Revelation 19 & 21*
· What is the image?
o developing relationship
o betrothal (courting!) and promise
o anticipated union
· Let’s not take the image too far (heavenly ‘stag-do’…!)
o focus on the point, instead:
§ /the Church/ is preparing ~/ being prepared for the groom
· *images of preparation*
§ the groom is preparing for us (*John 14:1-4*)
o Ephesians and Revelation – purity and holiness
o the betrothal ceremony in Judaism came to be called ‘the sanctification of the bride,’ setting her apart for her husband
· Chosen, committed to, loved perfectly and unconditionally
o */Season of Singing/** inspired by Song of Songs*
o the temptation to ignore romance!
· How do we identify and embrace (co-operate with) preparation?
· Corporately
o being what the Church is meant to be
§ one, identifiable by love and good works, the Gospel…
· Individually
o getting to know ‘one another’
§ personal holiness~/character
· What kind of preparation?
o outward?
§ *Revelation 19:6-8*
o inward?
§ *1 Samuel 16:7*
· In the preparation for purity and perfection…
o */“it’s all about the groom…”/*
o “He must become greater, I must become less”
