The Bride has made herself ready according to Revelation 19. What does it mean that they bride (us) are made ready? How do we make ourselves ready for the marriage to Jesus? The image of marriage to Jesus is powerful and one that we often overlook, our corporate relationship to Jesus is a like a marriage. A marriage works the best when the two parties are unified. In healthy marriages you can’t tell who is leading the dance. It is clear that Jesus is the head of the house and marriage. But he doesn’t lead with an iron fist. Our marriage to Jesus is like a dance, where good dances are stride for stride with each other, and they know each others next moves. The bride so unified with the groom can anticipated the next step or move in the dance.
How are we to be that unified bride that is stride for stride with Jesus in is work in this world?
The bride prepares herself by clothing herself with the righteous deeds of the saints. We are prepared for the wedding by doing his will. We are prepared for the wedding, by dancing with Jesus here and now. We are prepared for Jesus and the wedding, by being people that live out our faith in every moment.
Lord, help me to learn to dance with Jesus in this world. Help me to do the righteous deeds of the saints.
