The Groom Has Come For His Bride

This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations- even us. Today the Pharisees question why Jesus’ disciples don’t fast. Jesus answers with a question, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus is the groom who has come for his bride, so this is not a time for fasting but feasting.
