The first miracle of Jesus had to do with a wedding, turning water into wine.  As followers of Christ, we are His bride.  He has gone away to prepare a place for us.  We are to be ready when He returns.  We’re given a few indicators of when that will be.  Israel becoming a nation, blood moons on Jewish feast days, the technology necessary for enabling prophecy to be full filled, these are warnings to us that the time of His return is soon if not imminent.  What are we to do to be ready?  We are to be without spot or wrinkle.  There shouldn’t be anything that would make anyone question my love and allegiance to Jesus Christ.  His name should be constantly on my lips.  My daily life should reflect my diligence in preparing for the wedding.  Not just a wedding, but the wedding all of creation has been waiting for, that all of heaven was created for; this is the only reason we were saved.  We are His bride; we are His and He is ours.  We will be one.  This is why we must keep our oil lamps filled with the Holy Spirit.  He will be looking for a bride who loves Him with all their heart, soul, and mind.  His bride doesn’t want anything else but Him.  This world has nothing to offer.  She loves Him more than anyone or anything because she knows that He first loved her and gave Himself for her.  Prepare the way of the Lord for He comes quickly.
