The Bride of Christ (Part Two)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mark Schindler

On this seventh and greatest day of the Feast of Tabernacles, we recognize the profound significance of the Bride of Christ making herself ready under the tender care of Jesus Christ. This day may serve as a type of the final step in the preparation process of the Bride to be His helpmate, as He brings the rest of mankind into the Family of God. God has set apart His carefully called and chosen few to be prepared for the completion of the Bride of Christ, filled with His Holy Spirit, and made perfectly in sync with Jesus Christ at His coming, with His Spirit flowing in and out. Under the work of Christ, His Bride finishes the preparation process of making herself ready in this carefully planned part of God's purpose for all mankind, as pictured on this day. For those called to tabernacle with Christ and become like Him, it is our privilege and responsibility to walk in unity with those whom God has chosen, making ourselves ready as the spiritual Bride of Christ. We must use all the tools Christ provides to prepare as a sacrificial offering, ensuring we do not falter or become distracted by this world. On this greatest day of the Feast, we see the reality of the wife of Christ who has made herself ready to be His perfect helpmate for eternity. Following the Tribulation and their resurrection, the Bride of Christ may already be at work as His perfect helpmate, preparing for the arrival of the remnant of Israel as Christ leads them back to the holy city. As we keep this holy and greatest day of the Feast of Tabernacles, let us rededicate ourselves to preparing to be Christ's helpmate in all things, ready to receive and assist those He brings back, according to the perfect order of God's plan.
