We spent several weeks studying "Attending the Bride of Christ" by Martha Lawley. This study helped us see the church as Christ sees her - a shining bride preparing for her Bridegroom. It drew from the rich symbolism of a Jewish wedding as we saw how Jesus uses the marriage relationship to teach us about Himself, His purposes, and His ways.
What impact did this study have?
This study helped me to get my daily “why’s” in perspective. The study emphasized that the life we live on Earth is a time of preparation for the time when we will be reunited with Jesus. Understanding that process helps give purpose where purpose is not apparent. I found the study challenging because it brought up Scriptures I had never really thought about and showed how helpful they can be in my daily life. –Carolyn Brundage
