Gospel Reflections #142: My Bridegroom: Jesus will surely come for us

Revelation 19:9 He said, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb," and also, "This is the true word of God."

This is what the angel said to John. We are invited to Jesus' wedding banquet not as attendees, but as His bride.

In laying down His life, Jesus said, "Go ahead, my beloved." He went to the cross and died in our place so that we could have eternal life. Jesus did not end when he died in our place. He did not end by dying in our place. "I will follow you" means, "I will surely come to you later," and He is coming for us as the bride He purchased with His life.

We don't need to be qualified or prepared to be a bride. We only need to believe in Jesus. Anyone who believes in Jesus is invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb as a bride. And we are told that this is the true word of God.

This means that Jesus, the Bridegroom, will never cheat, betray, or disappoint us as our bride. All we have to do is believe, gladly accept, and eagerly await the invitation to the wedding feast of the Lamb. Because Jesus will surely come for us!
