Christ’s Wife Distinguished

You would surely think poorly of a wife who speaks little about her husband except perhaps to boast of his wealth and possessions, the things he gives to her, and what she has to do for him. You would perhaps assume she is ashamed of his person.

I think the same of false churches, especially their ministers. They claim to be married to Jesus Christ. But what they speak of themselves and Him proves the marriage is a sham. He is as ashamed of them as they are of Him (Mark 8:38).

They speak more about themselves than Christ: boasting of their supposed “freewill” rather than His sovereign will; boasting of how they “let” Him save them because He otherwise could not have done so; boasting of “deciding for Christ” and “finding Christ” and “accepting Christ” rather than Christ doing those things for them; boasting of “what I have done for Christ” rather than “what Christ has done for me”.

They speak more about the blessings of Christ than Christ the Blesser: more about salvation than the Savior; more about redemption than the Redeemer; more about reconciliation than the Reconciler; more about justification than the Justifier; more about sanctification than the Sanctifier; more about glorification than the Glorifier. And they disdain the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ such as divine election in Christ to salvation, predestination with Christ, eternal acceptance in Christ, effectual redemption by Christ, and eternal security in Christ (see Ephesians 1:3-14).

They speak more about the things of Christ than the Christ of those things: more about the church of Christ than Christ its Head; more about the kingdom of Christ than Christ its King; more about the family of Christ than Christ its Father; more about the future coming of Christ than the coming Christ; more about the heaven Christ is preparing than Christ who alone is the glory of that place – and of going to heaven to “see my dear Mother”.

The true wife of Christ is the church boasting of Him instead of herself, rejoicing more in the Blesser than in His blessings, and exalting Christ higher than His things. We are not ashamed of Him and His words (Mark 8:38) and His gospel (Romans 1:16) and His testimony (2 Timothy 1:8). Christ’s church on earth glorifies God by and in and through Christ alone (Ephesians 3:21).
