The following is an excerpt from the book The Glorious Bride (Workbook Commentary Series: Ephesians) by James P. Miller.

It is common today to hear that we give too much emphasis to the church. Such men say we ought to preach Christ and say little about the church. If the church were purposed from all eternity, if the church is the bride of Christ, and if the Lord bought it with his death on the cross, we are not afraid we will give it too much attention. When we preach the cross of Christ, we preach the church paid for at the cross and bought by the blood of Jesus. If there is any way to emphasize this too much, then there must be a way to emphasize the cross and the blood of Christ too strongly. What sound Christian in the world can believe such could be true?
