Ephesians 5:27-30

27 That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].

  

Only Jesus will cause us to be glorious and holy, without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. He will use us, we will have a part to play, but our part is always played by being one with Him. Jesus never leaves us or forsakes us and without Him we can do nothing. Amen, we are never without Him, so we will be used by our Father to produce much abundant and glorious fruit.

People always seem to be wondering when the end times will be, this verse holds the clue. When we see the Bride of Christ being used to do the works that Jesus did and even greater works, John 14:12, then look for the end times to begin. Just before the Great Tribulation begins people will be saying peace and safety, 1 Thessalonians 5:3. They will be saying this because the Body of Christ will be glorious as our Father is using us to powerfully show His Will. The sick will be healed, the dead will be raised, the blind will see, the weather will do what we say, and we will be one, just as our Father and Jesus are one, John 17:20-22.  

28 Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

    

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

    

30 Because we are members (parts) of His body.

We are Jesus’ flesh, He does not hate us. He cherishes us and He nourishes us. Jesus keeps us and He is solely responsible for us. He knows what we need and what we want and He provides for us. Nothing happens to us that He is not in complete and total control of John 15:5. We are one with the Alpha and Omega, the Great I Am, and the King of King and the Lord of Lord’s. Today is the day of our salvation and now is our appointed time to be one with our Father through Christ, 2 Corinthians 6:2. We are perfectly united with Him so that the world will know that Jesus is real and that they are loved, just as Jesus is loved. Anything that is required for us to do will be done through us by Jesus, Who is greater within us than anything that is in this world, 1 John 4:4. We are now and forever more victorious in Christ, Romans 8:37, because as He is, so are we in this world 1 John 4:17.
