The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Pastor’s Desk
On the night that Jesus was betrayed, He spoke to His disciples as a
groom who would go away to His Father’s house and there prepare a place where they would dwell with Him (Jesus) for eternity. When the room was prepared, Jesus promised to return to “call out” His Bride (the Church) and escort her to the Father’s House for a 7-day celebration. Today we will focus on two parables which are often misunderstood by the Church. The first parable will be a story of 10 virgins (bridesmaids) who are waiting for the groom (Jesus) to return to collect His Bride. Once at the Father’s House, the groom and the bride are sequestered days while the Father entertains the invited guests. The second parable tells the story of a King who prepares a wedding celebration for His Son. He invites His chosen guests but His guests refuse to come. He then invites other guests (who did come) who would normally not be invited to a King’s celebration. Both of these parables are a picture of our future
wedding. We are the Bride, Jesus is the Groom and the King is God the Father. This is known in scripture as the “Wedding Supper of the Lamb”. Today, we learn some interesting facts about who will
be at our future wedding.
