The Bridegroom's Return: A Journey of Betrothal and Communion

This radio clip explores the ancient tradition of betrothal, drawing parallels to the relationship between Jesus and His followers. Betrothal was akin to marriage, with the bridegroom leaving to prepare a place at his father's house. The bride, awaiting his unexpected return, prepared for the celebration marked by trumpets. Pastor Christie connects this to the Last Supper, where Jesus extended the cup to His disciples, symbolizing a sacred union. Each communion becomes a moment to reflect on the question: “Do you take me as your lawfully wedded husband?”
