The vows of two individuals to remain committed, loyal, understanding, honoring, and faithful til death is nothing less than glorious. And when a community gathers to observe such a union, in marriage, they see a reflection of that glorious love Christ has for his church. It is a shame that many from Justin's community have seen more funerals than weddings. This is a fact that should plague our prayers, haunt our evangelism, and completely remove superficiality from our very existence.
Marriage is glorious. And when it is marred and left without expression, Christ is misrepresented and defamed. But when it is celebrated and fought for, Christ is proclaimed as the strong, faithful, sacrificial, and loving husband that he is.
Meet the Bumpers who are now married. With every serious and sincere bone in my body I beg you to pray for this couple who have made Christ the object of their faith and seek to live under his reign and rule every day.
