An Invitation To Dine

"The Kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king, who gave a wedding feast for his son.  And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come."

Matthew 22:2-3

Have you ever planned a big dinner or get together and have everyone you invited to cancel at the last minute?  You have spent hours/weeks with preparation putting together what you thought would be a fantastic time for all.  I have and it hurts big time!  You make a promise to yourself that you will never do it again.

God is doing the same thing for us only it is a wedding feast.  All we have to do is accept His invitation to become part of the Church, the Bride of Christ.  God's Son is our Bridegroom and for whom the wedding feast is prepared and He has laid the groundwork in our hearts to respond to His Son, Jesus Christ. 

Oh what a celebration it will be when we put on our "wedding clothes", 

the clothes of Jesus Christ righteousness.

Wedding Music
 by Phil Cross & Kirk Talley

Is that wedding music I hear

The brides adorned and ready to appear

And there's heavenly preparation 

For the wedding celebration

Is that wedding music that I hear

The family is preparing for a wedding

All have been invited to attend

The bride is standing ready

Waiting for the signal when the groom says

Thanks my children come on in

Soon we'll rise to leave this land of sorrow

For that ceremony in the air

The Father then will lead us

Through that Holy land of splendor

Have you made your preparation to go there

Is that wedding music I hear

The brides adorned and ready to appear

And there's heavenly preparation 

For the wedding celebration

Is that wedding music that I hear

And there's heavenly preparation 

For the wedding celebration 

Ia that wedding music

Is that wedding music that I hear
