Chapter 16.—Christ Purges His
Church by Medicinal Afflictions.
15. For the Church is His body,
as the apostle’s teaching shows us;1728
| 1728 Compare
Eph. i. 23 with Rom. xii. 5. | and it is even called His
spouse.1729
His
body, then, which has many members, and all performing different
functions, He holds together in the bond of unity and love, which
is its true health. Moreover He exercises it in the present time,
and purges it with many wholesome afflictions, that when He has
transplanted it from this world to the eternal world, He may take
it to Himself as His bride, without spot or wrinkle, or any such
thing.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
