Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And my friend, Steve Estes, has a lot to say about marriages and wedding ceremonies—after all he’s been officiating weddings as a pastor for decades! Well, Steve says when everyone’s got their eye on the beautiful, resplendent bride coming down the aisle, he always likes to catch a glimpse of the groom. Because there’s always joy, anticipation, and excitement in the eyes of a husband-to-be. Steve has seen a groom even raise up on his toes and strain his neck, wide-eyed with a smile—all to catch a glimpse of his bride. Just picturing that makes me think of Revelation 21, where it says, “I saw the Holy City…coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” Oh friend; yes, as the bride, it will be amazing to see our Savior, but think of the expression on the face of our glorious groom. What a day that will be!
