22. Why didn’t Jesus get married and beget children? |
|
Because
God did not want His Son to get married and to have children. However, this
does not mean that Jesus will never get married, for one day Jesus Christ
also will get married. However, His marriage will be a particular marriage, for
He will marry the Church, as it is written: “And I heard as it were the voice
of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of
mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
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 [fine linen stands for the righteous acts of
the saints]” (Revelation 19:6-8). This is confirmed by Paul in his second
epistle to the Corinthians when he says that he has betrothed them to one
husband, that he may present them as a chaste virgin to Christ (2 Corinthians
11:2 – NKJV) |
