The Father’s Gift To The Son The Biblical Unfolding Of The Ultimate Purpose For Everything

Last Week’s Conclusion

Two Practical Questions 1.How can Christian men come to terms with a bridal destiny? 2.Isn’t the idea of a corporate bride a contradiction in terms?

Two Theological Questions 1.What kind of a Bridegroom is God’s Son? 2.What kind of a Bride could possibly be suitable for God’s Son?

The Biblical Answers 1.PENTATEUCH: A holy Bridegroom, a priestly Bride. 2.HISTORY: A warrior Bridegroom, a warrior Bride. 3.POETRY: A glorious Bridegroom, a fruitful Bride. 4.PROPHECY: A faithful Bridegroom, a holy Bride. 5.GOSPELS-ACTS: A servant Bridegroom, a forgiven Bride. 6.EPISTLES: A gracious Bridegroom, a servant Bride. 7.REVELATION: A victorious Bridegroom, a ruling Bride.

Pentateuch: Wedding At Sinai “You are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy….” (Leviticus 20.26) “You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Exodus 19.6; Revelation 5.10)

History: Warrior Wins The Bride “The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will even give him my daughter for a wife.” (Exodus 15.3; Joshua ; Judges ; 1 Samuel 18.27) … in order that the generations of … Israel might be taught war …. (Judges 3.1-2)

Poetry: Pictures Of Intimacy You are doubly beautiful compared to the sons of men … (Hebrew of Psalm 45.2) “Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance …” (Song of Songs 4.16)

Prophecy: Loving An Adulteress “Your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts….” (Isaiah 54.5) “You will call Me Ishi, And will no longer call me Baali.” (Hosea 2.16) “I will betroth you to Me forever….” (Hosea 2.19)

Gospels-Acts: Meet The Bridegroom

Epistles: Wedding Preparations

Epistles 2: Wedding Preparations … the married woman … if her husband dies, she is released … you were made to die to the Law … so that you might be joined to another …” (Rom 7.1-4) … I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. (2 Corinthians 11.2)

Revelation: Marriage of the Lamb “… the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” (Revelation ) … I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21.2) “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” (Revelation 21.8)

Conclusion The reason for everything is the Father’s gift of a Bride for His Son. The death and resurrection of Jesus not only secured our redemption, but won His bride from the clutches of the enemy.
