A Promise Delivered

A Promise Delivered

I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

It was prepared like a bride dressed for her husband.

Revelation 21:2

The Holy City, John says, is like “a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.”

The What is more beautiful than a bride? . . .

Maybe it is the aura of whiteness that clings to her as dew clings to a rose. Or perhaps it is the diamonds that glisten in her eyes. Or maybe it’s the blush of love that pinks her cheeks or the bouquet of promises she carries.

A bride. A commitment robed in elegance. “I’ll be with you forever.” Tomorrow bringing hope today. Promised purity faithfully delivered.

When you read that our heavenly home is similar to a bride, tell me, doesn’t it make you want to go home?

The Applause of Heaven
