— Jesus the Bridegroom
Have you ever been asked the question: “Do You Have a Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ?” The answer for every Christian should be “Yes”! However, it is interesting that the Bible never uses the expression “personal relationship” to describe how Christ relates to the Church. Instead, Scripture describes the relationship between Jesus and the Church as the love of a “Bridegroom” for his “Bride” (John 3:28; Ephesians 5:32). Why? How can Jesus be “the Bridegroom” when he had no wife?
Join us for a learning event on Thursday, June 22nd from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 in the Old White Church for a video presentation by Dr. Brant Pitre called “Jesus the Bridegroom.”
Please RSVP online by Monday, June 19th, through SignUpGenius>Jesus the Bridegroom or call Vicki at 847.997.7350.
In this eye-opening lecture, Dr. Pitre unveils the love of Christ in his Passion and the sacraments. In this talk, you will learn about topics such as:
• The Bridegroom God of the Old Testament
• John the Baptist, the “Best Man” of Jesus
• The First Miracle of Jesus: Water into Wine at a Wedding
• The Wedding Banquet of the Last Supper
• The Parallels between the Crucifixion and an Ancient Jewish Wedding
• Why Jesus’ Side was Pierced on the Cross
• Why There Will Be No Marriage in the Resurrection
• The Biblical Roots of Virginity and Celibacy
• John the Baptist, the “Best Man” of Jesus
• The First Miracle of Jesus: Water into Wine at a Wedding
