Bible Note: Ray, In this context the local Church is spoken of as a "lady" and mother to her "children" the congregation. John is writing from a location at one local church to another local church. This is to a certain extent similar to the to the image of the Church as the Bride of Christ found elsewhere in John's writings. Where I come from the universal Church is referred to as Holy Mother Church. Emmaus |
