Seeing Ourselves and Jesus

Summary

The sermon explores the metaphor of the church as the bride of Christ, emphasizing Christ's love, commitment, and sanctification of His bride. It highlights how Jesus chooses the humble, the broken, the repentant, and the undeserving—such as children, rebels, cowards, the desperate, the hopeless, and sinners—to be part of His bride. The message calls believers to recognize their identity in Christ, submit to His authority, and pursue holiness out of love and gratitude rather than duty. Ultimately, it encourages seeing Jesus with the eye of faith and responding with love and commitment.
