If you have been under a rock for the last month you might not of heard that there was a wedding among the royal family of England. It is amazing how many people are captivated by this story of a future king marrying a young lady who will be the new princess. They estimate that two million people will make their way to England only to be left outside while the wedding is going on. They more than likely did not receive an invitation, but want to be a part of the hoopla that surrounds an event like this. Others will sit in their homes, some in the United States, who will have to wake up early in the morning to watch this wedding. Even though many of them hate the thought of having to go to a wedding of a family member. How crazy is that?
The Bible talks about another wedding that will have far more prestige and fame than any royal wedding you have experienced on this earth. In fact, for this wedding you don't need to dream about what it might be like to be invited, or even to be in the wedding party. For this wedding you can be the Bride! Now I know for some of you men that sounds a little awkward and weird. However, it is all true. The Bible says that Jesus, the King of Kings, is planning a wedding and one day he will return for his Bride. Now this Bride is not one person, but plural in reality. The Bride of Christ will be everyone and anyone who is willing to give their life to Jesus. So you can be the Bride in the greatest Royal wedding of all time. However, if you are that person who would say, "I am not really into this Jesus guy. I believe him and I will follow some of what he says because it is good stuff to live by. But I don't know that I want to be His bride. Take his name? I don't think so!" There are many that will take this approach. They love to be around the wedding, the groom and the bride, but they will be satisfied to just keep their seat to watch the whole affair. My friend with this I want to be very clear. There will be no human spectators at the Marriage of Christ with His Bride. In fact, anyone who is not the Bride will be left outside. That's right you will not be allowed to just hang around the royal family of Heaven. Instead you will dwell among the 'Living Dead'.
So you can sit around dreaming about what it might be like to be married to a Prince, or you can begin preparing to marry the King of Kings and experience it for yourself.
