Countless people watched yesterday as William and Kate became husband and wife. It was truly a most beautiful wedding, one we will always remember! And how wonderful it was, for those of us who were not invited, to be able to see this blessed event via our TV or computer. (Praise be to God that possibly billions viewed this "church service," where the name of Jesus Christ was lifted high, and the sacredness of holy matrimony between a man and a woman was proclaimed!)
Although comparatively few were chosen to receive an invitation to William and Kate's wedding, there is a wedding all are invited to! In Rev. 22:17 we read, "The Spirit and the Bride (the church, the true Christians) say, 'Come!' "
"This is a wonderful invitation extended to every generation up to the coming of Christ. Those who recognize their need and realize that Christ is the provider of salvation are exhorted to come while there is yet time before the judgement falls and it is too late. Scripture makes it clear, the gift of eternal life is free. It has been paid for by the death of Christ on the Cross and is extended to all who are willing to receive it in simple faith."
(The Bible Knowledge Commentary, page 989)
What a glorious Marriage that will be, unlike any others! An angel said to the Apostle John in Rev. 21:9, "Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." The church is His Bride and Christ is the Bridegroom. This wedding will truly be more wonderful than anything we can ever imagine!
All are invited, but do not delay! Respond to Jesus today!
