Lena lives in a large city in the south. Her home is a hospital. She does not jump out of bed in the morning, as most of you do, and run or walk about. Lena is a cripple who must either lie in bed, or sit in a wheel chair. But she is not sad or unhappy for she knows Jesus as her Saviour, and He is her joy and peace. She knows, also, that when He comes, He will make her body beautiful and strong, a body of glory.
Not long ago such a happy event occurred in Lena’s life. She was invited to a wedding! But what about suitable clothes—a hat, dress and other things? And how was she to go and come? Well, the kind friend who invited her, sent everything Lena needed—hat, dress and even a taxi! All the dear girl had to do was to accept all these long favors, and enjoy the wedding—and this she did.
Some day soon there is going to take place the most wonderful marriage that ever was or will be. It is the marriagc of the Lamb, God’s Son. Now it would be a great privilege to be a guest at that wedding, but think what an honor it would be to be the Bride Herself. The Bride of Christ, dear children, is made up of sinners washed white and clean in His precious blood, YOU may form part of that glorious company.
“How?” you may ask. I will tell you. By His death Christ provided EVERYTHING you need to make you fit and, like Lena, you just accept all by faith. The “best robe” is all ready for any who will take his place as a sinner, and accept or take God’s free salvation: In His word He says to you,
