How many times do we speak to people who are not yet Christians about how they long to be loved, and point out how that longing can be satisfied in God?
But I was struck by the passing comment in this video, that we all have a longing not just to be loved and told that we're loved, but for the person who loves us to tell the world that they love us.
Jesus is our great advocate to his Father and he is also our great advocate to the world when he comes again to reveal us to be the Father's beloved sons and to declare us to be his beloved bride.
Incidentally this shows that justification is at the heart of the Gospel of relational love - it is not just a one metaphor among many.
