Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. —Isaiah 60:4-5
A great company of billions of believers will gather together on the sea of glass for the long-awaited wedding day. It’s significant that human history ends with the marriage supper of the Lamb, one of the very few corporate responses of the church to Jesus described in the Word of God. On that last day we will have fully understood Jesus’s leadership over history. His perfect leadership will have produced a bride that says with a glad tongue, “Rejoice and be glad, for the marriage of the Lamb has come!” We will rejoice with absolute gladness. We will erupt with joy. Under the leadership of Jesus, the human heart always erupts with joy. This is His desire for us even on this side of eternity.
{ PRAYER STARTER }
Father, Your Word teaches me that the wedding day of Your Son and His bride will be a glorious celebration beyond my human comprehension. My heart is filled with longing and anticipation, and I’m overwhelmed with love for my Bridegroom, Your precious Son.
When Jesus has His way, He makes hearts glad.
