ago, to marry our daughter. But how much fun to hear her voice,
"Mom, Matt asked me to marry him! I said, YES! We're
engaged....." Just thinking about the wedding to come, and the home they
will begin, brings a smile to our faces. Engagement - the commitment to share a life together - to
love, to serve, and to honor one another. In Bible days, the bride would get busy preparing herself
and the things she would need for her new home. She would be listening
for the voice of her bridegroom, and the announcement that he was coming for
her! Meanwhile, the groom would be preparing a home for his
bride. When his father said all was ready, the groom would go to get his
bride and take her to live with him. Listen to the words Jesus used as our bridegroom, talking to
us, the Church and His Bride, "In My Father's house are many dwelling
places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a
place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be
also." John 14:2-3 Are we busy preparing for the life we will have with Jesus
in eternity? Are we listening for His Voice, eager to have Him come for
us? Imagine the place He is preparing!! Listen! He is coming soon. Are we sure? Yes! We're engaged! |
