Jesus guides us and look after us.
Jesus is the bridegroom and his church is the bride. He is the head of the church; he loves it and takes care of it. He gave his life for his church. Christ made himself nothing, and when the time came he went to Jerusalem knowing that he was going to suffer. Jesus suffered on the cross. He suffered the wrath of God upon him, the separation from the Father. How not to love such a Savior? He gave his life for me, loved me, looked for me, and saved me.
Matthew 9:15 John 3:28 Revelation 21:9.
Head of the church (Ephesians 5:23) Head of the body (Ephesians 4:15-16).
