The Eternal Love Story

I will be officiating at three weddings in the next seven weeks.  As I work with these couples, I’m reminded of the many preparations to be made.  Also, especially for the bride, there is great attention to details to make sure everything is just right.  This is the day she has looked forward to for a long time! 

Over the past few weeks I began to think about another wedding—the wedding of the Church (the Bride of Christ) who will be united with Jesus (the heavenly Bridegroom)! 

• How well do we understand this? 
  
• Who has accepted His proposal? 
  
• What’s going on from the time of his proposal until the wedding day?
• If we as Christians believe that our wedding day is very near, then why don’t we seem to be anxiously awaiting…anticipating that special day? 
• Where is our attention to every detail because we want everything to be just right? 

We’ll explore these and other truths in the weeks to come in my new sermon series entitled, “The Eternal Love Story.”  I hope to post some of my thoughts along the way, on this blog.
