I love a great love story, especially one that involves a royal wedding. I remember watching Princess Diana and Prince Charles wedding as a little girl. It was every little girl's dream, a princess bride with the princess wedding gown and carriage. I have found myself just as captivated with this royal wedding as I was the first. I will be one of the millions awake bright and early to watch.
I've been wondering, what is it about their story and their wedding that draws me in and makes me want to know every detail? I realized that what intrigues me the most is the royalty of it all. Some where down deep there is a longing to be royalty, to experience the life of a royal.
Scripture reminds us that we are royalty, if we are Christ followers. Galatians 3:29 says, "If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Then Galatians 4:7 goes on to say, "So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir." Wow! An heir is entitled to all the rights and privileges given the Father. So as a child of the King, I am royalty and this royalty comes without all the pressure of this world. He has exchanged my sin with His perfect robe of righteousness!
As we watch all the pomp and circumstance tomorrow, know that you can be royalty too. And one day there will be a wedding feast for the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7) You are invited! I hope you will accept His invitation of life and salvation! I will be there and I hope that you will be too!
