The last few weeks, even more so the last few days, and non-stop this weekend---nothing has captured the multitudes more than the wedding of Britain's Prince William and Catherine.
Wars, revolts, devastating floods and destructive tornadoes have been rampant lately. But, when one turned on the national news, the wedding came first.
As is typical, probably for most men, the royal wedding, the dresses, the hats, the pomp...none of it means much to me. Literally, I could not care less about the whole "she-bang."
Don't think for a second that I am not excited for the two of them. They appear to be much in love. I join the millions around the world in hoping for their happiness. I pray that they will use their positions of influence to bring about good to a world in need...the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lonely and, yes, the lost.
Births, weddings, anniversaries...all can be occasions that make memories for a lifetime. Being a part of the event or occasion adds even more to the memories. Did you get your invitation to the "wedding of the century?" Neither did I. But, I'm not disheartened. You see...
I have been invited to The Royal Wedding. In fact, I'm a part of the Wedding Party. Revelation, chapter 19, tell of the Wedding of the Lamb. In verse 9, John was told to write, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb." (NIV)
Jesus told a parable, in Luke 14, of a "certain man" who "made a great supper and bade many." Many of those who were invited began giving excuses at the time for the supper. The "master of the house" sent for the "poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind." He even included those in "the highways and hedges." That's when He included me. Not by by merits, but by His GRACE. (Ephesians 2:8).
Have you given your RSVP to your invitation to the Royal Wedding?
By taking Jesus Christ as your Savior, you become a "child of the King" through adoption into the family of God. (Galations 4:4-7).
See you at the festivities--the Wedding of the Ages.
