" Yeshua, when he walked among us, called himself the bridegroom. Like Adam, to win us, to have us, he too had to be put to the sleep of death. His side had to be pierced, his flesh had to be sacrificed. We who were dead in spirit, came to life out of his death, born from Christ as Eve was born from Adam. And we are now bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh. "
