When we are separated for too long from someone we deeply love, we're left with an ache of mourning. Jesus told us that His friends would mourn when the Bridegroom was taken from them (Matt. 9:15).

Amidst the lethargy of our Western, modern, religious, landscape, yearning for our Bridegroom is a witness to others that He is more than a religion.
