HERE COMES THE BRIDEGROOM

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”

Isaiah 61: 10 King James Version

Yesterday, I watched as a bride walked down the aisle to meet her bridegroom. The wedding was beautiful. The people stood as the organist began to play “Here Comes the Bride”. As the bride was walking down the aisle she kept her eyes on her soon husband to be. He was smiling at her and she was smiling at him as they realized that they soon would be husband and wife. They are so much in love with each other that you could almost feel their love.

One day our precious Saviour is going to return for His bride. It will be a glorious reunion and a day of great joy and excitement for those who have accepted Him as his or her personal Saviour. For the ones who have rejected Him, it will be a day of horror, agony and regrets. However when Jesus walked that long and lonely road to Calvary and purchased our salvation on that cruel cross, there were no smiles or music. It was a day of great sadness.

Some brides have told me that it seemed like it took forever to reach their bridegroom. I think that Jesus feels the same way as He is still waiting for people to accept Him as their Saviour. For some people, He has been knocking on their heart’s door for years and they have never opened the door to invite Him in.

There are people that He has been calling for years into full time service for Him but they have rejected His calling and are living in disobedience. How it must hurt and break the heart of our dear Saviour to be rejected, criticized and scorned so many times. He paid an agonizing price for the right to be our bridegroom. He hung there on that cross of horror and shed His blood so that we may be His bride. I’ve said this countless times and will continue saying it until Jesus calls me home “There is no one like Jesus! No one loves us like Jesus loves us. He is a friend beyond compare”.

Are you clothed with the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness? Have you opened your heart’s door to the bridegroom of our hearts, our precious Saviour? If not, then you are not only going to spend all eternity in hell with satan, you are hurting Jesus. Please don’t hurt Him anymore. Say yes to Jesus and invite Him to become your personal Saviour before it is too late. One day it will be too late for you to be saved. I urge you; I plead with you to give your heart and life to Jesus now!
