Grace for your spirit July 24, 2008

Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." Revelation 19:7

Israel was meant to be the bride of God, but they were unfaithful constantly. In the New Covenant, the church is betrothed to be the bride of Christ. Everything about Christianity is to focus everyone on the marriage supper of the Lamb. We are all called to put on our garments, cleansed by the blood of Jesus, and be joined with Him for eternity. As I watch the time and effort dedicated to worldly weddings and receptions, I can only hope that we will put forth such preparation for our eternal bridegroom. God tolerated the unfaithfulness of His people, but will not be merciful for those who reject His Son. I hope to see you all at the celebration in heaven one day.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
