The Church as Christ Will Find Her (Matthew 25:31-46)

“What will Christ’s church look like when he returns? The Revelation of Jesus Christ describes the church figuratively as a bride, made ready and adorned for her husband, clothed in fine white linen, which ‘is the righteous deeds of the saints.’ As we explore this together, and as I attempt to stir you to greater love and good works, I want to point you to the gospel in this message right off the bat, for the good news of Advent is not only that Christ is returning in glory, but that his bride, the church, will be ready, for God himself has undertaken the task of preparing her.
