The Best Wedding Ever Read: Revelation 21:1-8 Bible in a Year: 1 Kings 16-18; Luke 22:47-71 The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. Revelation 19.7 Within the last 800 or so years, a new custom has been added to the Jewish wedding ceremony. At the very end, the groom crushes a wine glass under his foot. One explanation of this is that the shattering of the glass symbolizes the destruction of the temple in ad 70. Young couples are encouraged to remember, as they establish their own homes, that Godâs home had been destroyed. God is not homeless, however. He has just chosen a new place to live in us, His followers. In the metaphors of Scripture, believers are both the bride of Christ and the temple in which God lives. God is fitting His people together to build a new home that will be His permanent dwelling place. At the same time, He is preparing the bride and planning a wedding that will include all of God's family from the beginning of time. Our part is easy though sometimes painful. We cooperate with God as He is at work in us to make us more like His Jesus. Then some day, at the best wedding ever, our Lord will present us to Himself without spot or wrinkle. We will be holy and without blemish Eph. 5.27 This wedding will bring an end to all sorrow and suffering. Finish then Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee. The return of Jesus is sure.
