     The Blessedness of the Lord’s Invitation

     

    “…Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb…” (See Revelation 19:9, RSV).

    To be invited means that we are remembered included, chosen, and desired. That, in itself, is a blessing. None of us wants to be left out. In Revelation we are offered the blessing of being invited to “the marriage supper of the Lamb” – the great heavenly banquet for Christ and his bride, the church.
