Bible Questions
Answered:
“...how
is Jesus a bridegroom to us...”

Answer;
Bible
Texts:
Ephesians 5:21-33 NLT
21
"...Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22
For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to The Lord.
23
For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the
church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.
24
As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your
husbands in everything.
25
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the
church. He gave up his Life for her
26
to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s Word.
27
He did this to present her to Himself as a glorious church without a
spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and
without fault.
28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love
their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love
for himself.
29
No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ
cares for the church.
30
And we are members of his body.
31
As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is
joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”
32
This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ
and the church are one.
33
So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and
the wife must respect her husband.
Our Lord, likens His relationship to us like a bride and a
bridegroom.
The Lord Jesus paid an unfathomable price for His bride, His own
life.

Dowry:

The
Lord Jesus Is The Bridegroom, The Church, His Bride.
Matthew
9:14,15 KJV
14
Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the
Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride chamber
mourn, as long as The Bridegroom is with them? but the days will
come, when The Bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall
they fast.
John
3:29 KJV
He
that hath the bride is The Bridegroom: but the friend of
The
Bridegroom, which standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth greatly because
of The Bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
II
Corinthians 11:2 NLT
For
I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God Himself. I promised you
as a pure bride to one Husband—Christ.
Revelation
19:7-9 KJV
7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage
of The Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.
8
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto
the marriage supper of
The
Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation
21:1,2 KJV
1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.
Is this heavenly Bridegroom, your Savior?
Prayer:
John 6:37,40,47 KJV
37 “...him that
cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
40 And this is the will
of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth The Son, and
believeth on Him, may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up
at the last day.
47 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.
Matthew
25:1-13 KJV (Jesus)
1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which
took their lamps, and went forth to meet The Bridegroom.
2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4
But the wise took oil (Oil a
type of God The Holy Spirit) in their vessels with their
lamps.
5
While The Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, The Bridegroom cometh;
go ye out to meet Him.
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our
lamps are gone out.
9
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for
us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves.
10
And while they went to buy, The Bridegroom came; and they that were
ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Genesis
7:15,16 KJV
15
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein
is the breath of Life.
16
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God
had
commanded him: and The Lord shut him in.
11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to
us.
12
But He answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein The
Son Of Man cometh.
He
Is Coming Again
Lift up your heads, pilgrims a-weary,
See day’s approach now crimson the sky;
Night shadows flee, and your Belovèd,
Awaited with longing, at last draweth nigh.
Chorus:
He is coming again, He is coming again,
The very same Jesus, rejected of men;
He is coming again, He is coming again,
With pow'r and great glory, He is coming again!
Dark was the night, sin warred against us;
Heavy the load of sorrow we bore;
But now we see signs of His coming;
Our hearts glow within us, joy’s cup runneth o’er! (Chorus)
O blessèd hope! O blissful promise!
Filling our hearts with rapture divine;
O day of days! Hail Thy appearing!
Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine! (Chorus)
Even so come, precious Lord Jesus;
Creation waits redemption to see;
Caught up in clouds, soon we shall meet Thee;
O blessèd assurance, forever with Thee! (Chorus)
