HUSBANDS, HOW JESUS LOOKS AT HIS BRIDE

12/9/2015

My fellow husbands, we need to remember that Jesus does not look at His fumbling, sometimes-inattentive, often-rebellious, not-in-perfect-shape bride (the church - all of us) with a scowl, but with eyes blazing with sacrificial love and passion for her future splendor. He does not view and treat her with provoked contempt for her present condition, but views her and treats her with love that envisions and will ensure her future perfection. As His sacrificial love for His bride is the initiating, endearing, and enduring influence for her beautifying sanctification, can it be so for us with our wives? Yes, as we reflect Him to them, and the world.
