He that hath the bride is the bridegroom.
Can the children of the bridechamber fast,
while the bridegroom is with them?
Behold, the bridegroom cometh.
The bridegroom is Jesus. John said he that has the bride is the bridegroom, and the friend rejoices at his voice. The Lord called Himself the bridegroom. The children of the bridechamber do not fast while He is with them. The days come when He is taken, and then they fast. The parable of the virgins ends with the cry, Behold, the bridegroom cometh. The marriage of the Lamb is the feast. He loved the church and gave Himself for her. The bridegroom is not a picture only. It is His name for Himself.
