The Spirit and the Bride say "Come!" The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. Revelation 22:17 I came across a viral video from several years ago the other day. It shows a wild and joy filled dance up the aisle for wedding. Groomsmen and bridesmaids celebrating in dance as they enter, only to all gather again at the back of the church where the groom breaks through them all to lead them back up again. Finally, the bride appears, also dancing as she makes her way in. Suddenly, the groom dances out to meet her and they dance forward to meet the rest of the party. I think this is what it will be like when heaven comes to earth and the Jesus the bridegroom comes for his for us who are his bride. We will be caught up in the dance! Expectation! Celebration! Dancing! Hope! Joy! What if we lived this way today as followers of Jesus? What if our lives were marked by expectant celebration and joy filled hope! Why not put on our dancing shoes and let our feet move to the harmony of heaven. Happy dancing! Blessings,
Matthew+ Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP p. 228) |
