Are marriage and the priesthood “opposites” of each other? Are they two opposing and exclusive ways to serve God? Or, are they somehow profoundly linked to one another?
In this presentation given at the 2009 Word of God Conference, Dr. Bergsma, former Protestant pastor and now Professor of Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, examines the passion story of the Gospel of John, showing the unexpected and surprising ways that John reveals Jesus as both priest and bridegroom at the Cross. Married couples and priests alike will benefit from this moving reflection on the way both sacraments—Matrimony and Holy Orders—participate in the self-sacrifice of the crucified Christ.
I purchased The 'Crucifixion' DVD, shortly after moving to a distant State. During the move, I overlooked changing my old delivery address on the 'Shop Pay' app. This meant that the DVD would end up in my former state. I contacted Michael right away. He corrected the shipping order address to my current address so I could receive my DVD. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the DVD even though I had paid for it.
A powerful reflection on the crucifixion, showing how Christ’s sacrifice is both a nuptial and priestly offering, deepening the understanding of His love and mission

This talk blew my mind and opened my eyes to the greater meaning of Christ as the Bridegroom. I've listened to this multiple times and continue to be amazed by just this one mystery of Christ.
Found it very interesting but would have loved more depth and cultural context for the times that texts were written. Otherwise I enjoyed listening to it. Wish it was a longer study so we could hear more content on this very crucial topic.
