Date Night with Jesus
Not to be irreverent, but we’d do well to schedule a date night with Jesus.
There’s plenty of room for this imagery—the Bible is full of rich symbolism describing the Church as Christ’s bride. Paul even says that marriage is about how Jesus loves us. The intensity and depth of God’s love only begins to gestured towards by human romance. Strangely, however, while we’d make clear room in our schedule to simply be with our husband or wife, or with a person we’re dating, we forget to make room to simply be with Jesus.
This practice is similar to other forms of spending time with God, but the “date night” imagery is important: it means that, as we set aside an evening to be with Jesus, we intend to enjoy it with Him. This isn’t drudgery or duty; it’s romance and joy.
For more from the Bible, look at Ephesians 5:25–32; Revelation 19:4–8; Hosea 2:14–20; John 15:1–11.
