Falling in Love With Jesus Workbook: Abandon Yourself to God's Greatest Romance - Bible Study Guide for Christian Devotion & Spiritual Growth | Perfect for Small Groups & Personal Reflection

Before you can grasp the depth of the meaning behind this study or book, you need to understand the Jewish Custom for marriage since Jesus was Jewish. This response is meant with all due respect in the hopes of a deeper appreciation for God and Jesus, so please bear with me.First I will explain the customs versus what Jesus actually did then show scripture reference to make the picture clear for the true meaning beyond just our way of living life.I will state the Jewish custom, then in parentheses state what Jesus actually did. Then below is explanation, I will reference scripture that ties to a mystery about Jesus coming for his Bride.1. Jewish Bridegroom goes to future Bride's Home. (Jesus came to our home, earth)2. Bridegroom gives dowry for Bride. (Jesus gave his all by dying on the cross for each one of us)3. Bridegroom goes back home to build a home on his Father's house for him and his Bride (Jesus was raised from the dead, ascended into Heaven and is building a home for us onto his Father's house) John 14:2. “In my Father’s house are many abodes (KJV, mansions)¸ if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)4. Bridegroom comes back to marry his Bride once the home is finished (Jesus is coming back for us to make the church, which is composed of men and women -Matthew 22:30 "for in the Resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like Angels in Heaven..." We are all spirits in Heaven with no sexual distinction. So, the church is filled with spirit filled individuals and they make up his church, his Bride. Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands love your wives as, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."Before we can understand the mysteries in the Bible, we need to accept Jesus Christ as the only son of God, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was raised from the dead, ascended into Heaven and believe in the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent as our comforter and guide. He is coming back for us and I personally have seen him do TOO much to NOT believe in him. He never leaves us, ever, and is just waiting for us to whisper his name so that he can come into our hearts and perform more miracles that we can ever imagine. This book is the foundation and the beginning of the best life you can ever experience. Just understand the customs and what Jesus did and what the Bible says, and you will find Jesus and will never want to trade where you go with him to anything you have experienced in your life!
