When a wife is separated from her husband – maybe for work reasons – she misses him desperately. They talk by phone and email, but she cannot see him face to face. She longs for the day he returns. We, the church, are the bride of Christ. We read His words in the Bible. We talk to Him in prayer. We are one with Him by the Spirit. We look at the bread and wine and marvel at His dying love for us. But soon, soon these will be no longer needed when we see Him face to face.
