Description: (hide)
Martin Collins, reflecting on the recent Thanksgiving celebration, a time which family reunions abound, continues his series on marriage and the family. Sadly, many have carried the baggage of the world into God’s Church rather than carefully putting on the armor of God. We need to gain an appreciation of the privileges Christ has bestowed on His Church. This relationship is typified by the close relationship of the husband and his wife. The husband must now share his life with his wife, collaborating as a team on financial matters. As one flesh, the couple must share the blessings, responsibilities, and most importantly, a new name. As the collective Bride of Christ, we take on our Bridegroom’s new name. Antioch was the first location in which the label “Christian” was applied. Today, we preserve our identity by enduring His suffering, sharing His transcendent glory as citizens of the New Jerusalem, as well as sharing His dignity and authority, His approbation as the Light of the World, and soon having the responsibility to judge angels.
