Quotes about Bride
The Head and the body are Christ wholly and entirely. The Head is the only begotten Son of God, the body is His Church; the bridegroom and the bride, two in one flesh. All who dissent from the Scriptures concerning Christ, although they may be found in all places in which the Church is found, are not in the Church; and again all those who agree with the Scriptures concerning the Head, and do not communicate in the unity of the Church, are not in the Church.
- St. Augustine

it's through Moses that God makes four promises to these slaves. I will take you out. I will rescue you. I will redeem you. I will take you to me. There's a reason why these four promises are so significant — they're the promises a Jewish groom makes to a Jewish bride. This is wedding language.

Let us ask God to give us that glorious glimpse of the coming of our Lord. He is the Bridegroom coming for the Bride, and He will come when the Bride is ready for Him.
