Preparing for the Wedding
Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Imagine that you are sitting in a beautifully decorated church. The groom is up front. The bridesmaids walk down the aisle. Then the bride comes running in in curlers and sweat pants! No bride can ever forget that it is her wedding day, but a lot of us do something just as ridiculous.
The Bible calls the Church the Bride of Christ. One day Jesus Himself will return for His Bride, taking her to His home that He’s preparing in heaven. But many Christians live like they’ve forgotten all about the wedding.
In one sense we can define revival as the Bride getting ready for the wedding. Ephesians 5 describes the kind of church that Jesus wants for Himself. “Without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.”
Are you ready for the wedding? What would it take for you to get ready? Why not start today?
