Not a Despotic Husband

The Bible begins with relational brokenness. Jesus came to reconcile broken humanity to Himself.

This reconciliation needs to be renewed each time we gather. And in this recognition we begin to grasp that our personal and corporate relationship with our Lord is always in need of refining, and Christ is committed to refining us as a faithful Lord.

Christ is the perfect husband and the more we commune with him the more we understand his ways and his desires for us as members of the Bride of Christ.

Christ is not a despotic husband. He serves and serves and loves and loves and he dies for our sake to show us that no greater love exists than that of a Lord who gives Himself wholly for His Bride.
