Grace and a Wedding

Our community, Grace Chapel, studied Revelation 19 a couple of weeks ago. We focused on the metaphor of the wedding feast. This past weekend my brother David was married to the love of his life, Amanda. I couldn't help but think about the beauty of the day and how it erased a lifetime of disappointment.

It seems like every one of David's special days was somehow messed up.

But this day, his wedding day, was perfect.

Weddings change us because they force us to look ahead. They set our attention on the future. Weddings are merely gateways to marriages.  Marriages are everlasting adventures (or at least they ought to be).

This wedding in particular was, for me, a reminder of the redeeming grace of Jesus. He takes lifetimes of frustration and in a moment can transform them into something beautiful.
