A Biblical Love Story: A Wedding Invitation: (part seven)

carousel image 0


 No matter how many weddings we humans have on this earth, for those that are saved and born again, there is only one that will outshine all others and one that will never be broken by divorce or sickness or death. Revelation and The unique Love story of Ruth & Boaz - Good News of the Gospel Way explains it this way.



A Wedding Invitation for you and me

As in all good love stories, the Bible concludes with a wedding.  Just as the price that Boaz paid to redeem Ruth paved the way for their wedding, the price that Jesus paid has paved the way for our wedding.  That wedding is not figurative but real, and those accepting his wedding invitation are called ‘The Bride of Christ’.  As it says:

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. Revelation 19:7

 

Those who receive Jesus’ offer of redemption become his ‘bride’.  This heavenly wedding is offered to all of us.  The Bible ends with this invitation for you and me to come to His wedding

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

 Revelation 22:17

 The relationship between Ruth & Boaz is a model of love that is still making itself felt today.  It is a picture of the heavenly romance of God who loves us.  He will marry as His Bride all who accept His marriage proposal.  As with any marriage proposals, His offer should be weighed to see if you should accept it.  Start here with the ‘plan’ laid out in the beginning from the beginning of human history and follow its development. Notice how it is all predicted long beforehand to prove it really is God’s Proposal.

💕💕💕

What an exciting event to dream and plan for! The marriage supper of the Lamb where those of us that have accepted his free offer of love, grace and salvation will live on with us in heaven. Where not one thing can go wrong, disrupt and destroy it. Where no sin can invade it.

We, the church will be married to Jesus himself, as our Bridegroom! 

Can we even imagine it? Not entirely. But the promise is to all of us, that have said yes to his invitation: Will you come?

Yes Lord, I will come. Thank you!


Hello, Friends. I will be taking the rest of this week off but plan to be back on Saturday, Feb.13. I hope you will come back then and that in the mean time God will richly bless you in his love!
