The High Christology of Colossians

The Eternal Privileges of the Bride

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. Collins

In this insightful message, we learn about the breathtaking spiritual blessings and destiny of the Church-the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-33). In the same manner as a bride gains a new identity, name, and inheritance through marriage, God's chosen saints, united with Christ, share His very life, glory, and eternal prospects. This divine marriage is everlasting, founded on love, sanctification and oneness, Sadly, many undervalue their precious calling, forgetting that being a part of Christ's body means sharing His very identity and mission. Key privileges of the Bride include sharing: 1 His Life: Because Christ shares His life with His Bride, God's chosen saints no longer live for self, through His indwelling presence (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:4). 2 His Name: Bearing His name equates to sharing His authority, character and destiny, identifying believers as citizens of God's Kingdom (Revelation 3:12). 3 His Dignity and Authority: Consisting of overcomers, the Bride shares Christ's throne (Revelation 3:2). 4 His Inheritance: As joint heirs with Christ, God's resurrected saints receive all that belongs to Him, including eternal life, heavenly riches, and participation in His divine purposes (Romans 8:16-17, I Corinthians 3:21-23). 5 His Interests and Servants: The Bride fully shares in Christ's mission and His servant's ministry, which include laboring with Him in His redemptive work (Revelation 2:17). 6 His Glory and Prospects: As God's chosen saints, our lives and future destiny are currently hidden with Christ in God, as we wait full revelation when we appear with Him in glory (Colossians 3:1-4; John 17:24). All that Christ possesses He graciously shares with His Bride. To be united with the Son of God is the highest privilege ever granted-an awesome destiny of eternal love and shared glory beyond all human imagination.
