Friends,
Jesus could have gone to be with His Father much earlier than Calvary. He could have avoided the cross. The Father declared Him to be His Beloved Son, in whom He was well pleased. He judged Jesus to have fulfilled the covenant and earned eternal life.
But Jesus does not want to be alone. He went to the cross to gain an inheritance: us.
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1:22-23 [NKJV]
Christ Jesus is our head. But what is a head with no body?
We are His body. But what is a body with no head?
Without a bride, there is no bridegroom. And Christ knows this. He desires that we be His bride, that we be His body.
Sisters and brothers, walk in a manner that brings honor to our bridegroom. Do not rebel against the head ... follow where He leads.
Be encouraged, Jose
