Episode 22 -Last week, Stephanie opened the first-century Jewish custom of betrothal to our 21st century western minds. We focused on the betrothal ceremony's elements--the proposal, the bride-price, and the drinking of the cup as covenantal agreement. We followed the bride-to-be as she took up to twelve months to prepare and adorn herself in every way--physical, and spiritual. Now, we follow the groom-to-be in his various endeavors to prepare their future life together. And then, the big day finally came--the wedding celebration could start! Jesus drew one parallel after another to help us understand He is the Groom come for His bride, the church universal. Find out what 2,000 years of western history made us forget!
