Believers in this life are but betrothed to Christ, I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto 1me in righteousness, and in judgement, and in loving-kindness. Their Marriage-day is put off till the glorious day of Christs appearing; the great day of his glory, will be the day of solemnity, Rev. 21. 2. 9, 10 compared, It would not be for 2the honour and glory of Christ, that his Spouse in that day should be clothed with rags; therefore he hath given them the Bracelets, the Ear-rings, and the Jewels before hand, that they may be a praise and an honour to him, in the Marriage day. Oh! when the Saints shall appear with all those glorious Jewels about them, that Christ hath bequeathed to them, how will their splendant glory darken all other glory, and make the very Sun to hide its face? This is our betrothing day, that will be our Marriage-day.
