Delving deeper into our typology series, Bro. Alex San Juan explores the book of Hosea, where the prophet’s difficult marriage to unfaithful Gomer serves as a powerful metaphor for God’s relentless love and Christ’s relationship with the Church. Bro. Alex examines themes of forgiveness and redemption, seeing how God pursues His people despite their transgressions, foreshadowing Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice.
Hosea 2:16

Hosea 2:19–20

Ephesians 5:25–27
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
