The greatest wedding reception that will ever take place in the history of mankind is described in the Bible—The Marriage Supper of the Lamb: “
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And He saith unto me, “Write, ‘Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb’” (Revelation 19:7-9).
If you are born again, then you have not only already received your invitation, but have also RSVP’d that you will be attending. Only those who RSVP will have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. God will not be sending out any Save the Date cards. In fact, even the invitation does not include the date! When He was on earth, Jesus said that He didn’t even know the date! Only the Father knows the wedding date, because it can only occur after the Bride is safely in Heaven. And only the Father knows when He will send His Son to get His Bride!
Once you have RSVP’d that you will be attending, you have to stay ready at all times, because He could come any time. Apostle Paul said: “For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).
Christians are not citizens of this world trying to make it to Heaven—we are citizens of Heaven trying to make it through this world! And when we leave, we are going to a wedding!
