]]> Comment on You are the Bride of Christ by Myung http://bethelem.org/?p=937&cpage=1#comment-94 Myung Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:21:55 +0000 http://bethelem.org/?p=937#comment-94 I been reading a Puritan writer, John Owen, and he describes how believers hold communion with Jesus in grace by a marriage relationship. Here's an excerpt: Believers are a great delight to Christ. The day of his wedding, of taking poor sinful souls into his loving care, is the day of the gladness of his heart. John the Baptist was but a friend of the bridegroom, who stood and heard his voice when Christ was taking his bride to himself, and he rejoiced greatly (John 3:29). How much more, then, must be the joy and gladness of the bridegroom, as the prophet Zephaniah tells us: 'He will rejoice over you with gladness, he will rejoice over you with singing' (Zeph 3:17). That's some good stuff! I been reading a Puritan writer, John Owen, and he describes how believers hold communion with Jesus in grace by a marriage relationship. Here's an excerpt:

I came away encouraged and refreshed even though several points that were made were pretty grim. It's too bad that a lot of people fail to trust in Him and remind themselves of how good He really is when He's doing something that they don't understand. =( Hmm, in one of my classes last semester we went through the book of Job and talked a lot about suffering and the Lord's role in it.
