Good Reviews

"Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" And he added, "These are the true words of God""- Revelation 19:9 (NIV).

We had circled the restaurant three times, in a two-block radius, without finding parking. Parking in a historical city, like Charleston, South Carolina, is hard to come by. We finally found a spot two blocks away and walked to the restaurant. The reviews had been very good, our mouths watering the closer we got. Finally reaching our destination, and starving at the late hour, we were dismayed to be turned away. They were too full and it would be an hour before they could begin to prepare our food. There was nowhere to wait inside the small restaurant. This incident reminded me of a supper we will not miss, no matter how crowded; in fact, the more crowded the better. There won't be any circling like a vulture to get a seat at the wedding supper and our hunger will be satisfied with streams of living water. John ends his prophecy with this statement: "He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus" (v.20).That statement either gives you great joy or heart-skipping fear. Will you be inside at His supper or outside circling? By the way, the reviews are very good!
