BOB
This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community in Meridian. When the disciple, John, began to tell of Jesus the Messiah, he remembered different events than the other three gospel writers. One of those accounts is of a wedding Jesus attended in Cana. Jesus is portrayed as someone who not only attended parties but would supply wine so that the party might continue. Some even accused him of being a drunkard, a glutton, and friend to sinners.
All through the Bible, God shows that he loves a good party. Much of the worship in the Old Testament involved feasting. When the prophet Isaiah described God's Kingdom, he spoke of a great feast prepared by God himself.
The last book of the Bible, Revelation, describes the end as a great triumphal banquet… a wedding party. So one day, there will be a party to end all parties. God's people will gather from all nations, all languages, and even all times to celebrate the final victory over sin and death.
That's a party that I want to go to. How about you?
