THE WEDDING DAY

So, we look at our lives and we say, 'What do You need from me, I don't want to be found unfaithful, though my best is not good enough'; His best was more than enough. There is a wedding day. It's coming. We are betrothed to Jesus Christ and He will return for us. Chance FaulknerFrom heaven Christ came and sought her. The Son of God took on flesh that he might woo and win his unfaithful bride. Putting on her humanity, he lived the life she never could—loving the Lord in complete faithfulness and loyalty. He died an excruciating death in her place to redeem her from the debt of death that she deserved. He takes responsibility for her—her debt ,He makes his debt, his righteousness he gives to her. All her needs are met and she is safe under his generous provision. He adores her—he has eyes for no one else. His banner over her is love. His heart is hers.He is devoted to her—not holding back in loving affection. In her sin, he is infinitely compassionate. Not pulling back in distance from her but drawing near in tender devotion. In her worst he gives her his best.Christ spends himself on her. He sweats for her. He bleeds for her. He dies for her. He gives himself up for her. For he loves her.And where he goes, she goes also. For he’ll not have heaven without her.TEXT: MATTHEW 22:1-9SONGS: GRATITUDE, BRANDON LAKE COVERHERE I AM TO WORSHIP, UPPER ROOMHOW DEEP THE FATHERS LOVE FOR US, MISSION HOUSEHOLY, WEDDING DAY, CITY HARMONICI CAN ONLY IMAGINE, MERCY ME
