“Bride Of Grace”

     What or who is the bride of Christ?

Sincerely,
Missed The Wedding

Dear Missed The Wedding,

The church is the bride of Christ.  John the Baptist referred to Jesus as the groom (Jhn 3:29).  Eph 5:23 says that Jesus is like a husband, and the church is like a wife.  In 2 Cor 11:2, Paul says that the christians in Corinth were betrothed to Christ and that it was his job to present them as a pure bride to Jesus, their groom.  All of these verses point to the same teaching – the church is the bride that Jesus purchased through His sacrifice (Acts 20:28).
