The Church as the Bride of Christ
The Church, portrayed as the Bride of Christ, beautifully illustrates the profound love and faithfulness between Christ and His followers. This metaphor highlights a deep, sacrificial love akin to a marriage, as described by St. Augustine and St. John Chrysostom. It emphasizes the Church’s role in reflecting Christ’s purity and maintaining a loving relationship with Him. Ultimately, it points to a joyous future union with Christ, celebrated as the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation—a testament to the enduring bond between Christ and His Church.
