This year I have four significant friends who are getting married. Thus far, two of them have offered to pay for my plane ticket to attend their wedding. Imagine the Bride paying for me to attend her wedding. It’s hard for me to believe that my presence at their wedding is so important that they will pay for me to get there! I’m humbled and reflective of the work of the Cross.
Jesus has paid for me to come to His wedding too. His death on the Cross paid for us (the church) to marry Him. True: He is marrying me, so technically He is paying for my (our) wedding, but He is marrying the corporate body of Christ as well. It’s not a perfect analogy of course, but still my heart has been impacted by the generosity of my sisters and has given me incite into the love Jesus showed on the Cross.
Hi!!
