Matthew 22:1-14

Called to share in the joy of the King (the Father) in the marriage of His Son. (The invitation is sent)

Let us realize the value of souls, but let us also have that day clearly in view and think of the pleasure of the Son when he shall look at His Bride. Beautiful is his sight.

John Redekop

Matthew 25: We have the midnight cry.

It awakens all the sleepers.

He is coming --(The Spirit Cry)

The cry is "Behold the Bridegroom!"

It draws not so much attention to the event, but to His Person -- The Bridegroom

Ephesians 5:27-32 Give us the result in the Presentation of Himself.

1. Not only give himself for her.
2. But also sanctified and cleansed her. His patient infinite love. All through her pilgrimage here.

That at last- presented glorious, no spot or wrinkle

Fresh and youthful looking.

The product of Christ from the cross to presentation. Example Esther 2:12-15
