Prince Felix of Luxembourg and his new bride, Claire Lademacher, pose for photographs after their civil wedding ceremony in Koenigstein am Taunus, Germany.
I recently came across a story with the headline, “Prince marries commoner.”
Of course this headline immediately grabbed my attention as I looked at the pictures of the bride and the groom enjoying one another as they pledge to holy matrimony. I love these types of stories because it reminds me of who I am in Christ. We all we’re born commoners in this world with a chance at royalty, a
chance to be a part of the greatest royal lineage there ever was and ever will be, and that lineage is the kingdom of God.
Anyone with a biblical foundation understands that the relationship of a man and his wife is to be a picture on earth of God’s love for man-kind and his
church, whom he calls his bride (Ephesians 5:25-33). God is so good that he gives us reminders of himself and his thoughts toward us through natural things that he created in this world.
“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Romans
1:20
Women want to feel desired, loved, and pursued by someone, and if men are honest they will admit that they feel those same desires too. Well this blog is
to remind us that all of those desires can be met through our relationship with God.
He loves us and sees us as royal and worthy of the best when we may not see ourselves as such. That is why God gave us his best. He pursued us when he gave us his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. (Isaiah 53:10) Jesus Christ is our prince, who has changed our name, our status, and our right to inheritance. We are thoroughly blessed with all things that we need through him. It’s important to know who you are and who you are connected to.
I leave you with1 Peter 2:9-10 that says:
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now
have obtained mercy.”
So, don’t go settling for anything once common people who have become royalty through Jesus Christ!
