The end of Christ's love for His Bride the Church is this: that He might present the Bride unto Himself a Glorious Church.
It is the esteemed privilege of the Church to be a Glory unto her Bridegroom. Paul teaches that the wife is the glory of her husband, and so the Church is the Glory of Christ.

That Glory is already exhibited when we worship around the Lord's Table, rejoicing in and giving thanks for the wonderful work of Salvation He wrought for His people. We can only speculate of the Glory that shall be revealed in us when we see Him in His beauty and are made like unto Him in all His perfection!
