Who is the Church? (Ephesians 5:25-27)
...He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and God's word. He did this to present her to himself without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead she will be holy and without fault. (Ephesians 5:25-27) She is not a woman clothed with disheveled and burned attire who is weak and frail. The Church is the Bride of Christ, glorious and white without blemish that Christ shall be welcoming back into heaven. She is not your ever decreasing nominal congregation, but she is the multitudes of saints from the nations represented before the Throne of the Glorious One worshipping in unison of ground-breaking chorus. She is as glorious as a bride at a kingly wedding ready to meet her royal groom. Do you see yourself as such in the face of what the world is throwing at you right now with the rise of Covid-19? You must arise from this defeated state and grab as it were, the bull by the horn and chase the hope that is before you....
