And he said to me, These are the true saints of God. And I fell down at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, see to it that you do not do that.

Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb. And he added, these are the words of God. Here's the deal. We're about to have a nice meal where we feast spiritually on the presence of Christ. And that is an awesome truth in and of itself. But the best news is there is coming a day when we will not feast spiritually on His presence. Ladies and gentlemen, you and I are going to feast physically with His presence. And we are going to sit across the table from Him in a supper for all of eternity, feasting on His greatness and the forgiveness and the faithfulness that He is giving. …
… like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, hallelujah, for the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns.

It was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, write this down. Blessed are those who were invited to the marriage supper of the lamb. That's where the Bible started, right? Remember God blessed them, said to them, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth.

Give your life, leading people to Jesus, whether you're married or you're single. And singles, see the unique stewardship you've been given in this, in anticipation of the day when people from every nation, tribe, and tongue will gather around and experience the eternal blessing of God in marriage covenant with Jesus. That day is what we're all living for. So marriage here really is not the goal. …

God designed marriage in Genesis 2, the very beginning of the Bible, very end of the Bible. We're seeing heaven described as a marriage celebration. See it, marriage designed in Genesis 2 really is not the end. It's pointing us to a much greater end, to the day when all who trust in Jesus will be united with him as our savior, no longer covered in the guilt and shame of our sin, but clothed with fine linen, bright and pure, made possible by Jesus who died on the cross for our sin.
