Today, I want to talk to you about a love story of a father finding a bride for the son that he loves dearly. Actually, I want to talk about two love stories, with two Fathers, two Sons, two Servants, and two brides.
One is Abraham, who, as a father, sends his servant back to the land that Abraham came from to find a bride for Isaac. This unnamed servant is following the leading of the God of his master, Abraham, when he comes upon the house of Bethuel, where Rebekah lives. His mission is to find the bride that has been selected by God for his master’s son, Isaac.
The story of Abraham’s search gives us the type, or symbol, of a much greater, second, love story. This second love story is the description of God the Father, determining from the foundations of time, that He would choose a bride for His Son, Jesus Christ. Upon the completion of Jesus’ work at Calvary, which was the finished salvation that He has provided for each of us, God the Father sends the Holy Spirit as His Servant to gather together the bride for Jesus. This bride is the church of the body of Christ, which is made up of believers that have come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior during this age that we live in today. It is called the Church Age.
Two tremendous love stories, two Fathers, two Bridegrooms, two Servants, and two brides. Isaac loves Rebekah, but that is pale in comparison to the love of the Father, Son, and Spirit for the Bride of Christ.
Click on the link below to hear about the greatest love story that has ever been told. God has commissioned to me today to ask you a question. Are you ready for it? My Heavenly Father has said to me, “Keith, go teach this lesson. Tell people about Jesus. I want them to be Jesus’ bride. Tell them how wonderful Jesus is. And then, tell them that He who loves you is coming back for you one day.” My question to you is, will you receive Jesus as your Savior and seek to make His will yours? God said, “Tell the people, Keith, that whosoever will may come.” Don’t be left out of this love story. Accept Christ today and be with Him for all of eternity.
