Christ Was Never Married ?

This is a false assumption. He was married, and will be married again in the future.

The God of the Old Testament, the one who spoke to Moses, the one who appeared to the various prophets, and the one who thundered the Ten Commandments from Mt. Sinai to the children of Israel in the wilderness, was none other than the Word - the one who was born as the human being Jesus Christ.

No human being (other than Jesus Christ, who was God in the flesh) has ever seen God the Father, nor seen His shape.

John 5:37   " And the Father Himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. "

1 Corinthians 10:1-4   " Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. "

John 1:1-4   " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. "

John 1:14   " And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. "

John 1:18  " No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him. "

The Word, who humbled Himself and came to live among us as the human being Jesus Christ - was the God who entered into a covenant with the children of Israel. This was a marriage contract.

Jeremiah 3:14  " Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: "

The Word - the one who later on was born as the human Jesus Christ eventually ended up divorcing His wife Israel, because they were unfaithful to Him - they worshipped idols, which was adultery against God.

Jeremiah 3:1  " They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. "

Jeremiah 3:20  " Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. "

The 16th chapter of Ezekiel explains how God married Israel, but they were unfaithful to Him. They committed spiritual adultery against God (the Word) with their various false gods and idols.

Ezekiel 16:8  " Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. "

The book of Hosea is God's divorce document against Israel. God rejected them, and divorced them. He cancelled the covenant He had made with them, because they did not keep their part of the agreement. They were supposed to worship only the Lord, and have only the Lord as their national God.

Jesus Christ will marry once again. He will marry the Church after the resurrection. There will be a huge wedding ceremony and banquet. The Church will be married to Christ forever.

Revelation 19:7-9  " Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. "

Matthew 25:1-13   " Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. "

Can any of us comprehend the depth of love The Word had towards His wife Israel and the great love Christ has shown towards His future wife the Church. He even died for the Church. It is a love story. How foolish to put something, or someone else ahead of God in our lives. How tragic to spurn the love of our Creator.

Revelation 22:17  " And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. "
