Will You Marry Me?Sample

Drop the Mic

Jesus is the man. He’s not just a guest at this wedding; He’s Lord of the banquet.

He comes to the wedding, saves the party, doesn’t draw attention to Himself at all, saves this family from public humiliation (which only the disciples, Mary, and the servants know about), and makes the wine better than ever. Let’s just say, “Boom!”

His job is done here. Drop the mic.

He saved this family from shame, brought joy and feasting, and kept the party going. This is what He does for our lives as well.

In that day, the master of the banquet would be the father of the bridegroom, and he would be in charge of the great feast that took place after the wedding ceremony. The bridegroom of this wedding got the glory, but behind the scenes, Jesus was showing His disciples that He’s the one in charge. 

Jesus proved through this miracle that this party—and in the party of life, so to speak—He’s our true provider and He has more in store for us than we could ever ask, think, or imagine. He alone provides the best wine for us, which we learned yesterday is His spirit. 

Wine in the Bible is a symbol of abundance, joy, and celebration. Jesus wants us to enjoy our lives. He came not to just give us life, but life to the full. He has good in store for us. He’s our bridegroom, and He wants to celebrate with us, His beloved bride. 

Let’s switch gears for a moment and look at the passage from Song of Songs in today’s reading. Solomon’s bride is describing his appearance. Who else does this appearance remind you of? 

I can’t help but picture Christ, our bridegroom, looking something like this on our wedding day. Jesus is fierce, mighty, powerful, and a true warrior. Words fail to describe Him in all His glory. 

Imagine how humble Jesus was in His earthly body. When we get a glimpse of who He really is, we can appreciate His frustration in knowing that the time had not yet come for Him to reveal His full glory. The full story of the Bible still isn’t finished. We’re still here, and there’s so much to come. 

The glorified, majestic, beautiful, strong yet gentle, and loving Jesus is coming back for us. We are His beloved, and He’s the master of the banquet and our bridegroom. I’d say that’s definitely worthy of dropping the mic.
