Jesus is not a polygamist.
John Piper mentioned that in passing during a service a few weeks ago as he made the point that there is only ONE church, not lots of little local churches/brides, but just one church/bride.
To view each local church as a separate bride would make Jesus a polygamist. So, whatever your view of your local church is, you had better not think of it as a separate bride or you are calling the Groom a polygamist.
I thought it was an interesting point that I needed to hear to confirm one of the things that God has been teaching me in the past two years.

On a rabbit trail, polygamy is an interesting thing to talk about. There are actually debates on the mission field about whether a man with four wives who comes to Christ should keep his wives or send three home to their papas. And we thought WE had riddles to solve!
