A Royal Wedding

Everyone loves a wedding, well almost everyone.  All day long, the news was filled with highlights of William and Catherine's (Kate) wedding.  People gathered outside of Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace just to get a glimpse of the wedding couple.  Some people in America woke up at 4am to watch the wedding.  The news cycle was filled with stories about the wedding gown, the wedding cake, the couple, their families, the guest list, even people from the bride's hometown.  People could not just get enough.

What the news did not tell you is that there is a greater royal wedding coming.  This wedding is greater not because of the bride but because of the groom.  He is a prince, the Prince of peace.  He is also a King, the King of kings.  His name is Jesus and the bride is His church. 

There were only a limited number of invitations for the wedding today.  They were reserved for dignitaries, royalty, and the famous.  There were a few invitations sent to commoners, who were friends of the bride.  The good news about the greatest wedding is that there is an invitation for you.  You are invited not to be the guest but to be the bride.  The invitation is to have faith in the God who sent His only begotten Son, so that you would not have to perish but have everlasting life.  Have you confirmed your reservation today?  Think about it.
