Let us be glad and rejoice,
and let us give honor to him.
For the time has come for the
wedding feast of the Lamb,
and his bride has prepared herself.
Revelation 19:7 NLT
The night my husband and I attended a dinner at the Hilton in
honor of a potential presidential candidate, I planned to approach
him and ask to take his picture. A few people visited his table
before dinner, so I gathered my courage. He graciously shook my hand,
called me by name (reading my name tag) and asked a woman at his table
to take our picture together. Meeting someone famous is a delightful
occasion to remember, plus the experience made an interesting blog
posting.
With whom do you want to visit when you go to heaven? The Old
Testament introduces us to many interesting patriarchs. One of my
favorites is King David. He experienced victory in battle and moral
defeat, but he always demonstrated a repentant heart. His testimony
blesses us when we read his psalms of confession and praise to his
God.
Far ahead of all famous people is our Lord Jesus Christ. Our King!
Just to sit at His feet and hear His voice will bring emotions of
unspeakable joy. Visualize that heavenly banquet! The victorious
believers will not be invited to dine at the Hilton, but to a
heavenly banquet served in the grandest fashion to honor our
Bridegroom and His Bride—the overcoming church.
Hallelujah! Our Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
