The end of our story arc lays out beautifully in Revelation, the end of scripture. And here’s an intriguing event that I’ve never paid much attention to before, from Revelation 19:6-10:
“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
‘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.’
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
Then the angel said to me, ‘Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ And he added, ‘These are the true words of God.’”
I know that the church is the bride of Christ, but I’ve never actually thought about the wedding. I think, I hope, I’m one of the ones invited. And I hope I contributed a bit to the wedding gown.
It’s a great mental image, and a pleasant thing to think about. And another thing that makes Jesus’ walk on earth so amazing.
