The mainstream media is now promoting the theory that Jesus may have been married based on the discovery of some ancient artifacts which supposedly claim that Jesus when speaking to his disciples said ‘ “my wife”. But does this statement prove conclusively that Jesus had a wife or was married to a woman?
Which would also seem to suggest that he “Jesus” may have been involved in sexual relations with this supposed wife.But is this true was Jesus married? The truth of the matter is… absolutely not.
Jesus was not married and when you understand scripture you understand the context in which Christ was speaking to his disciples, and specifically who and what he was talking about.
Christ has always referred to his disciples, his church, as his “spiritual bride or future wife”, a bride/wife that he will be married to when he returns to establish his government here on earth.
Christ was not married to a physical wife, Christ was simply referring to his disciples as his future spiritual bride or wife, if in fact the artifact is actually authentic, notice.
