Left Behind

Jesus went away. What did He leave behind?

The church, of course. But how?

On the cross, Jesus is the new Adam, His side opened, and even after the resurrection still open. What comes out is not a rib but water and blood.

What Jesus leaves behind is the water and the blood, baptism and Eucharist. So abide the Spirit, the water, and the blood – these three.

And Spirit + water + blood = Bride.
