Always glorious, God is honored in the minds of his creatures who worship him.

The position of the glorified church will be that of the bride of Christ, for ever with him; and he being at the right hand of the Father, their position will be one of great honor.
The special honor, therefore, of the church is that of being the glorious bride or associate of the Lord Jesus, the King of glory.

His recognition of her station as his own wife pictures the superlative degree of her honor and glory.

Jesus said: "Father, I will ...

that they be with me where I am" .-- John 17:24.
[506]Of Jesus it is written that he is the 'express image of the Father' (Hebrews 1:3); and that he is the beloved Bridegroom and Friend of the body members of the church.
