The Bridegroom Waits

Animated voices are heard in the bride’s room:


I need lip gloss!
Does anyone have a safety pin?
What time is it?
Are you kidding me?!

All thoughts are focused on one thing – preparation.

In the groom’s room, excited voices are heard as well:


Pass me another chicken finger!
You know you look like PeeWee Herman...
ROCK BAND!


Preparations are done, so they wait...

Then there is another room...

With the sky as a canopy and walls of stone…


laughter fills the air

the Bridegroom is in the midst of preparations


He has been stripped


beaten


whipped


and mocked...

Blood mixes with sweat 
as the Bridegroom takes the last steps of His walk of love...


no flower strewn runners


no family pews marked with flowers


no ring bearer because


He bears a tree

the music plays...


tones of hatred and
cadenced cries of
crucify Him!

On a hilltop adorned with thieves and murderers, He waits...

While lightening strobes streak the heavens,


the Bridegroom finishes


what He came to do...


He is ready for His bride.

Hallelujah anyhow, indeed! Regardless of all we may go through in this life, all the sorrows and woe, Jesus remains our constant focus, our precious, loving Bridegroom.
I love Him so.

A wonder-full Easter Sunday blessing to you and yours!

May you experience the joy of the Truth this Resurrection Day – that we serve the Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Oh, Karen, you use your beautiful and creative writing skills that the Lord has given you to honor and glorify Him, and to bring us to our knees in prayer, that we may be humbled and made ready for His coming. I so await the coming of the Bridegroom for His bride!
