Within the last 800 or so years, a new custom has been added to the Jewish wedding ceremony. At the very end, the groom crushes a wine glass under his foot. One explanation of this is that the shattering of the glass symbolizes the destruction of the temple in ad 70. Young couples are encouraged to remember, as they establish their own homes, that Gods home had been destroyed.
God is not homeless, however. He has just chosen a new place to livein us, His followers. In the metaphors of Scripture, believers are both the bride of Christ and the temple in which God lives. God is fitting His people together to build a new home that will be His permanent dwelling place. At the same time, He is preparing the bride and planning a wedding that will include all of Gods family from the beginning of time.
Our part is easy though sometimes painful. We cooperate with God as He is at work in us to make us more like His Son Jesus. Then some day, at the best wedding ever, our Lord will present us to Himself without spot or wrinkle. We will be holy and without blemish (Eph. 5:27). This wedding will bring an end to all sorrow and suffering.
INSIGHT
: Our eternal home is so different from our current earthly home that it is described by what is missing rather than by what is presentno tears, sorrow, death, crying, or pain. The former things (v. 4) of this earth will be no more.
Thank you for my freedom Capt. Millet.
