“…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14) I am conscious that many Christians are weary and tired. Many are exhausted. I mean this spiritually, hence the need for a place to sit down and draw fresh water to revive a weary soul. And many who don’t know Christ are…
Jesus: You can look at the moon and see her in all her glory. She perfectly represents my bride, as she too is bright and radiant, and sits as a lamp-post against the darkness of the night sky. However, it is only by the light of the sun, she can be seen. It is only the light of the sun she reflects to the world; she has no light of her own. But, because your eyes are able to look…
A most excellent shadow and type of Christ the Bridegroom and His Church, His Bride, is seen in the traditional Jewish wedding of Jesus’ day when He was on earth. It is full of shadows and types that move me to tears. For instance, just like in the West today, the chosen bride in ancient Jewish times always had a choice. She, like us, could reject the proposal. This is seen in the case of Rebekah in Genesis 24:57-58. When…
Hopefully anyone reading this blog post, understands the term ‘bride of Christ’ is not referring to an Australian ABC series on nuns that was aired in the 1980’s! It is not even referring to the Catholic church, or any denomination or church building. If you’re not sure who the Bride of Christ is, I can tell you right now, that the Bride of Christ is the same as the Body of Christ – it is the collective body of believers who are…
Dear brother or sister, Firstly, let me say; in this post, I am not condoning war, killing, or racism, and I am not pro any country over another or offering my opinion on military service. Having said that, I recently went and watched American Sniper; what a movie; what a story. In a nutshell and be it right or wrong, it is the true story of Chris Kyle who signed up to serve his country with a deep heart conviction that…
(Picture above is found at http://biblestudyoutlines.org/bible-study-lessons/old-testament-bible-study/1-kings-6-bible-study/) Have you ever read the account of Solomon’s building the temple for God? I’ve been recently struck by the extravagance of Solomon’s ‘giving’ to the Lord. No, God never asked for it to be built; it was King David’s desire, that was given to his son King Solomon to fulfil but God sure accepted it. What struck me, is that King Solomon at the time of building the temple knew in his inner man,…
Dear Member of the Bride, Do you know that you are holy and righteous in God’s sight? Did you know you are a saint? Did you know you, a believer in the Lord Jesus, are already seated with Him in heavenly places? It’s true! You have already been made holy, spotless and blameless! Well, isn’t that a thing! I hope this song touches you like it does me. All I can hear is Jesus singing this to us, His…
