in holy matrimony

i attended roger and e-vonne's wedding this morning, the first wedding i have attended in kprbc as far as i can remember. as i witnessed the wedding ceremony, i was reminded that there is something magical about marriage, and it is not about the wedding ceremony itself.

if marriage between man and woman - in the first heaven and the first earth - is glorious, how much more glorious will marriage between Christ and the church - in the new heaven and the new earth - be!

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."" - Revelation 21:1-4 (NIV)

the best is yet to be!
