The Bride of Christ
Jesus said “I go to prepare a place for you”. The men gathered around Jesus as he spoke these words would have understood them plainly in light of the culture and customs of the times.

Abba, Father! Have you wondered what all is behind this saying in the Bible? You will be surprised at the depth of meaning in this phrase. Let’s explore the significance of this “adoption” cry from our hearts. The spirit of adoption: The feeling of affection, love, and confidence which pertains to children and not the servile, trembling spirit of slaves. Adoption is the taking and treating a stranger as one’s own child.
