| Wednesday, February 16 There's a Wedding in Your Future Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
Revelation 19:7 The average wedding costs $27,000, and some nuptials can gobble up hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some wedding dresses cost over $100,000, and the private jets to visit the designers are extra. Couples can easily blow a half-million on catering, especially if a famous chef is involved. Throw in a forty-piece orchestra, a private mansion, and over-the-top gift bags for the guests--and we're talking real money! But there will never be a wedding to match the glory of the marriage of the Lamb. When the last saint has been transported to heaven and the total number of the redeemed are gathered around the throne, the church will be presented to Christ like a bride. Ephesians 5:27 says, "that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing..." We spend months anticipating our wedding and when the day comes, we're filled with joy. As Christians our Groom is preparing for us, and our happiest moments are still ahead. O, that the church would work a hundredfold more earnestly for the conversion of souls and the edifying of the body of Christ, that the bride might be complete, and thus hasten the coming of her Lord.
