Our Wedding is Coming!
Revelation 19-22
“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 the saints.)
Revelation 19:7, 8
The fine linen of righteousness is given to the bride of Christ in preparation for the wedding of the Lamb. It is Jesus who gives us these bright, clean garments; however, they are worn by those who not only receive righteousness as a gift, but also live righteous lives full of righteous acts. In preparation for this wedding and union with the Lamb, the bride has made herself ready.
What blemishes and weights have been used by sin to distort our beauty?
Will we ‘make every effort’ to put off sinful habits, thoughts, and attitudes in the power of the Holy Spirit?
Will we fast and pray, soaking in the glorious presence of the Lord?
When the wedding becomes our top priority, we change our eating and our behavior to make ourselves ready.
What beauty treatments and new patterns is the Lord inviting us into this new year?
“Lord Jesus, I want to make myself ready and receive your beauty in exchange for my sin. I anticipate our wedding and your glory.”
