MARRIED TO ROYALTY

READ:

The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
-Revelation 19:7

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 14-16
Ephesians 5:1-16

The book To Marry an English Lord chronicles the 19th-century phenomenon of rich American heiresses who sought marriages to British aristocracy. Although they were already wealthy, they wanted the the social status of royalty. The book begins with Prince Albert, son of Queen Victoria, going to the United States to pay a social call. A mass of wealthy heiresses flood into a ball arraigned for Prince Albert, each hoping to become the royal bride.
Believers in Christ don't have to just hope-they are assured of a royal marriage in heaven. John talks about it in the book of Revelation: "Let us be glad and rejoice and give him glory for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clear and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints" (19:7-8). Jesus is the Lamb, who is the Bridegroom talked about in that Scripture, and believers are His bride.
As the bride of Christ, we are to make ourselves "ready" for that day by striving to live close to Him now in anticipation of our future with Him in heaven. There we will "be glad and rejoice and give ... glory"(v.7) to the King of kings and Lord of lords!-Dennis Fisher
Jesus, we look forward to that day when we will be with You! We want to be ready, but we know we can't live a life that is pure unless You are in us and help us. Change us and fill us.

There is no greater privilege than to know the King of kings.
