Wedding Announcement

Got your attention, didn't I?  I certainly wouldn't announce such an event on my blog - actually, I probably wouldn't announce it at all.  You would likely find out after I returned from Vegas, Arkansas, or the County Courthouse and I asked you to help me move. (Just kidding - I'm not that callous.)  

As Christ followers, we are a Bride! We have been given an eternal gift - to be the bride of Christ himself as He brings Heaven to Earth.  Christ is planning the most glorious wedding imaginable! He asks us to be prepare ourselves by staying in the Word, trusting, believing, and inviting. No wedding is complete without guests - with excitement, we are to invite everyone we know to attend.

Like a child staring at a beautifully wrapped gift, anticipating what is under the ribbon and wrapping, we are filled with the excitement of knowing that Christ is going to return for us - the gift of eternal life wrapped in the heavenly ribbon of a flowing white robe.

As we ready ourselves to celebrate Christ's life, death and resurrection, let's also remember His promise to return.  What a celebration will be had this Easter as we give thanks for what He has done as well as what He has promised to do in the future.  Ready yourselves - the wedding will be the most magnificent ever!

"...A man can receive only what is given him from heaven...The bride belongs to the bridegroom.  The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegrooms voice."  John 3:27-29 NIV   
'Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:  "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.  Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.  Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." Revelation 19:6-8 NIV
And in the event I ever get married again here in Earth, you, my loyal blog readers, will be towards the top of "people in the know."
