Mourning for the Bridegroom (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

When we are separated for too long from someone we deeply love, we’re left with an ache of mourning. Jesus told us that His friends would mourn when the Bridegroom was taken from them (Matt. 9:15). We are living in the time of delay between His first and second comings, but we do not lament His death, for Jesus is alive.

So what does it mean for us to mourn for our Bridegroom? We are strangers in this world, on a pilgrimage until the day we see Him. We endure the groan of hunger and the more painful parts of loving Him. As we fast and pray, we refuse to accept the way things are in this evil age. Amidst the lethargy of our Western, modern, religious, landscape, yearning for our Bridegroom is a witness to others that He is more than a religion. He is a Person, so majestic in
beauty and kindness that our hearts are town by love for Him. If we love Him, will we not miss Him?
