All this month here on the blog we’ve been looking at the Marriage Metaphor. Here is our series wrap-up. You can also click HERE for a link to each individual post.

Exploring the Marriage Metaphor of Scripture at DoNotDepart.com Come read our month long series on the topic here.

Posts in Our Series

In the series introduction, I listed three things we’d learn about through this series.

“How does Christ, as the Bridegroom love us, His bride? And what can we learn from that?” I explored those questions in my post, How Christ Loves His Bride.

What is the role of Jealousy and the Marriage Metaphor? Jaime writes that, “God’s jealousy is an expression of His passionate and righteous longing to be in relationship with us.”

Do You Live Up to Your Name? Lisa reminded us that like an earthly couple, the Church has taken Christ’s name. We are “Christians” which means we “belong to Christ.” “Even though Christians don’t live up to the reputation of our bridegroom, we can still wear the name proudly and point others to Christ.”

In her post, God’s Invitation to Spiritual Intimacy, Cheli says, “While earthbound, God invites us to experience spiritual intimacy with Him, knowing it is only an inkling of our relationship with Him in Heaven.”

What is the role of Unity in Marriage and how does that point to Jesus? Kelli tells us, “The unity a man and wife share in one flesh is a reflection — albeit a dim reflection — of the unity we have with Jesus.”

In her post, The Adulterous Bride, Pattie reminds us that, “As the Bride of Christ, we are called to have eyes only for the Lord.” God knows our hearts’ tendency to wander, but “Despite our sin and our constantly wavering gaze, God adores His people. When God sent His son Jesus Christ for us, He redeemed us. He loves us so deeply, that despite our wandering ways He has made a straight path back to His arms!”

I pray you enjoyed our look at the Marriage Metaphor found in Scripture. Did any of our posts challenge or inspire you? If so, share with us in the comments or in our Facebook community! Also, please feel free to share this series with anyone you think it would bless. Our goal is to reach women with truth!

In Him,
Ali
