So
the Church Is Also Jesus’ Wife?
Without a doubt. The Bible says:
“Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head
of the church.” (Ephesians
5:23a-b PDRC, any brackets & highlighting added in scriptural quotes)
So Jesus Christ is the Husband of His Church. But Jesus is
called “the Lamb of
God” (John 1:29, 35-36 PDRC), too, which is why the Bible says about Him
as well:
“And I, John, saw the holy city, the new
Jerusalem… prepared as [like] a bride
adorned for her husband… And there came one of the seven
angels… and spoke with me, saying: ‘Come,
and I will show you the bride, the
wife of the Lamb.” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 21:2a, c, 9a,
c-d PDRC)
The “new Jerusalem” is just another name for
Jesus’ Church, which is His Bride & His Wife. And the Bible tells us
about husband & wife: “…a man… shall cleave [join] to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.”
(Genesis 2:24 PDRC)
