The Royal Wedding

Like most American males, I grew extremely tired of the coverage of the royal wedding last week, until I realized something. On Thursday, April 28th, Kate Middleton was a commoner. However, on April 29 after 11:00 AM, she was the Duchess of Cambridge, forever after known Princess Kate. She did not do anything special to become a princess or a duchess, except catch the eye of Prince William. He decided to make her his bride and as a result of HIS decision she is now a princess.
Do you see it yet? We were once commoners, ordinary people. However, the Prince of Peace saw us and decided He wanted to make us His bride. Now, not as a result of anything we have done, but solely as a result of HIS decision we are no longer commoners, but now we are Royalty, the Bride of Christ.
I read that over 2 billion people watched William and Kate's wedding. How many will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? I don't know the exact number, but John said it was a multitude from every tribe, kindred, nation, and tongue. If only we could realize the importance of that wedding. Praise the Lord, I am no longer a commoner but now a joint heir with Jesus.
