Week 6, Day 5

The Bride and the Bridegroom

This week we examined passages in Revelation where the bondservant of the Lord gave praise to God and where the bride, the wife of the Lamb, was described. These passages are very important; however, they must be studied in great detail for a fuller understanding of their significance. We would also need to do word studies to begin to understand the depth of meaning of such profound words and wonders.

1. Read 1 Peter 2:1-12. Who is the living stone, and who are the living stones?

2. In Acts 26:15-18, Paul told King Agrippa about his call. What was it, and who was it for?

What do you learn from this?

3. Read Revelation 19:7-10 and 21:1-9. Describe in your own words who the marriage of the Lamb is speaking of. Give companion passages to verify your findings.

4. Read Ephesians 5:15-21. Make a list of things you are to do as you live each day.

5. Read Ephesians 5:22-33. Under each category below, write every reference you find to Jesus, marriage, and the Church.

JESUS:

MARRIAGE:

CHURCH:

6. Summarize what you learned about the connections between Jesus, marriage, and the church.
