The Beginning of a New Life
READ: Revelation 19:6-9
Terry and Renae have known each other since they were little kids. Since their mothers were best friends, they were always around each other. They went to elementary school together, junior high together, and then became high school sweethearts.
Three years have passed since graduation. Terry and Renae are getting married. They are finally ready to take this big step. Now the ceremony has to be planned. The wedding invitation states, “Come and share the beginning of a new life with us,” a new life together, that is.
In the same way, we are invited for the new life with our Savior. It says in Revelation 19:7, “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come.” Also, in verse 9 it states, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper.” We are invited to share a new life with Christ. For that reason, we should rejoice and give Jesus glory. That is the least we can do after all Jesus has done for us. Giving him praise should come naturally and be done willingly. It should come from the heart, not just the head.
Let us always be ready for the coming of our Savior. No one knows when that will happen, but we do know that we are invited to the wedding. We will one day be able to share a new life with our Lord.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: Is the invitation extended by Jesus for everyone, or just Christians? Are you ready for the coming of our Savior? What can you do to be better prepared for the coming of our Savior?
PRAYER SUGGESTIONS: Pray for guidance, so that you may be ready. Pray for your relationship with God to grow and become stronger. Thank God for his blessings.
