chenista Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Q3. (Revelation 21:9-27) John's vision of the Holy City is obviously strongly symbolic. But the Holy City pictures "the bride, the wife of the Lamb" (21:9-10; 21:2). What does John's vision of the Holy City tell us about the way that Jesus looks at his Church? The new Jersuleam is a precious, holy, and divine place that is all encompassing. The temple is the body which is represented by the new Jersuleam - which is the body of true believers. The foundations were laid by the twelve apostles - the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple - the body is the temple of the Lord and he dwells in us by the measure of our faith. This glory needs not a sun or moon for the glory itself is the light. Those who are saved shall walk in the light of it (the glory of Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit). All who enter bring glory and honor to it because God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ dwell within them and are partakers of the inheritance. Nothing will ever defile the body of Christ again!

JustJeff Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Jesus looks at His church as a church that is a virgin, without spot or blemish. That means we have no idols before Him, that He alone is who we worship and as His betrothed, we are completely His, living in His Word and not that of false prophets. We are clean and sanctified, new, a new city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mags Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jesus looks at his church with the eyes of a man waiting for his bride. He has love in his eyes, warmth in his heart and face. She is beautifully presented and glowing with her love for him - which strengthens his love for her. He is proud and unashamed, filled with love for her. Jesus loves us so much and loves to see us coming to him, both in the commitment to him and in daily prayer and study. He longs for us to walk unashamed down that isle to Him - with eyes on him while others' eyes are on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuthiahs Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Jesus looks his church as spotless , without any blemish and no impurities . Jesus would look his church in the same way as a comman would expect his new wife to be , he would expect his wife to be a virgin ,perfect qualities . In spititual sence it would be free from sin.As he has already taken our sins thru his blood . So this responsibility lays with us how we keep our self pure for jesus to come again and take us with him in to the new jerusalem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanks Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Q3. (Revelation 21:9-27) John's vision of the Holy City is obviously strongly symbolic. But the Holy City pictures "the bride, the wife of the Lamb" (21:9-10; 21:2). What does John's vision of the Holy City tell us about the way that Jesus looks at his Church? The bride (wife of the Lamb) symbolizes the Holy City, which again symbolises the Church in its perfected eternal state. Jesus (as the husband, and the Lamb) supplies His Church(His wife) with everything she needs, and honours her with great respect and adorns her with attractive attire. The full beauty of this church will not be evident until the Lord returns in glory. It is the imagery of the Holy City and the bride that brings us and our Lord into an inseparable husband-wife relationship. This city is called holy as it has been consecrated by God as a place without sin; in other words, it is perfect in every respect. The privilege of living forever in the presence of God is his gracious gift to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
