[Music] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Who gives this woman to be married to this man? Myself and mother. Please be seated. Come on. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God to witness the union of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. This is an honorable estate instituted and blessed by God in paradise before humanity’s fall into sin. In marriage, we see the picture of the communion between Christ and his bride, the church. Our Lord blessed and honored marriage with his presence and first miracle at Canaa in Galilee. This estate is also commended to us by the Apostle Paul as good and honorable. Therefore, marriage is not to be entered into inadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, deliberately, and in accordance with the purpose purposes for which God instituted it. The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for the mutual companionship, help, and support that each person ought to receive from the other, both in prosperity and adversity. Marriage was also ordained so that man and woman may delight in one another. Therefore, all persons who marry shall take a spouse in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust. For God has not called us to impurity, but holiness. God also established marriage for the procreation of children, who are to be brought up in the fear and instruction of the Lord, so that they may offer him their praise. For these reasons, God has established the holy estate that Stone and Caitlyn wish to enter. They desire our prayers as they begin their marriage in the Lord’s name and with his blessing. The first scripture reading, Genesis chapter 2. The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that a man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit for him.” So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. And while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord had taken from the man, he made into a woman and brought her to the man. The man then said, “This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. The second reading is from Ecclesiastes chapter 4. Again, I saw vanity under the sun. One person who has no other, either son or brother. Yet there is no end to all his toil. And his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy business. Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up again. If two lie together, they keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him, a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. And finally, the third reading, Ephesians chapter 5. Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love as Christ loved and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its savior. Now, as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his church, of his body. Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself and the let the wife see that she respects her husband. Caitlyn Stone, this is your wedding day. We had another Trinity wedding last week. You were there. You You saw it. You heard Pastor Cheryl mentioned, by the way, that and I I kind of think he was sort of bragging when he was saying this, that that he’d known the bride, Amelia. She’s here tonight. He’d known her all her life. I baptized you as a baby. I conducted the wedding ceremony for your mom and dad 33 years ago. Stone, I had the privilege of instructing you and baptizing you into the Christian faith also. I believe I’ve got the win over Pastor Sher. But today I want to talk about another wedding. John chapter 2. There was a wedding at Canaa in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding. A young couple in a small town called Kaa were getting married. They’d made all the preparations that a family with apparently modest means could make. They’d invited the relatives and friends and they’d cleaned the house and baked their desserts and cooked the meal and they bought the refreshments for such a h for such a happy occasion. Most would say they were ready for their wedding. In fact, if they had done nothing more, their wedding would have ended in disappointment and embarrassment. But they did do one more thing, the most important thing. They invited Jesus to the wedding. And that made their marriage day a success. And it’s why their wedding is recorded in holy scripture for us to talk about today. Caitlyn Stone, you two have made your preparations. You’ve invited your relatives and friends. You’ve gotten all things ready. You’ve asked me to conduct this marriage ceremony. And you’ve done one more thing. The most important thing. You invited Christ to your wedding. And he certainly desired to be invited. And as you surely know, that means more than having me read some scripture, pronounce you husband and wife in the name of the triune God, pray some prayers. Inviting Christ to the wedding has to do with hearts that are filled with faith in him. It starts with admitting, just as all of us must, that you’re sinful human beings. You are in need of a savior. So it all involves believing in Christ, true God, true man, who came into the world to save sinners. That he sacrificed himself to pay for all sin. That he was released from death. He was raised from the dead to prove that our sin debt was absolutely paid. Inviting Christ involves knowing he’s the savior you need personally and also as a couple. So inviting Christ to your marriage can’t be a one-day thing. It’s about all times being in him together. Attending the divine service, living together in his forgiveness and love so you can have this true love and forgiveness toward one another. Inviting Christ to your wedding means more than having a cross on the wall. It’s about hearts that are filled with faith in him. Inviting Christ to your marriage means taking him in as a third partner, living in his presence, rejoicing in his blessings, following his lead. You heard what Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 4. You selected a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. Caitlyn stone Christ woven strongly together into one strong unbreakable cord like that young couple in Kaa. Thanks be to God you’ve invited Christ to your marriage. You know one of the very important facts about that Kaa wedding is that Christ came when he was invited. If they had invited the emperor he certainly would never have showed up for such a humble couple’s wedding. But think about it. Christ, the King of Kings, the Lord of heaven and earth, when he was invited, he accepted the invitation. And that’s how Christ is. No h no home too humble, no couple too unimportant. Christ has time for everyone. Marriage has his official approval. Don’t let anyone downgrade marriage or make you ashamed of being husband and wife. Hebrews chapter 13 says, “Let marriage be held in honor by all.” So Christ was at that wedding in Kaa. He’s here today and he will continue to honor you with his daily presence because he approves of marriage and he blesses this marriage. Now, one of the things is weddings in Christ’s day. Uh thanks be to God to the mercy of mom and dad’s and so on. Uh weddings could last three days, maybe even a week. People traveled on foot. Well, they wanted to make the wedding worthwhile and visit something that they could accomplish. Wine was a customary drink for those times. But this time, either this couple had more people attend than they anticipated, or they simply didn’t have enough money to make certain there was enough. At any rate, they ran out of wine. When this was brought to our Lord’s attention, he asked the servants to fill some jars with water. And then he said, “Draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” They did. And when he tasted the water that had miraculously become wine, he called the bridegroom and and he sort of chewed them out. He said, “You know, most people, they serve the good stuff first. They don’t save the good stuff until last. Neither one of them knew that Christ had supplied what they needed. Thus, without even knowing it, Christ blessed this couple because they invited him. There are going to be times in your life when you’re not going to be very happy with one another, going to get irritated with one another. You’re going to there are going to be times when you’d rather uh change your spouse than change one another. Not be forgiving, but be crabby. Believe it on our or not on our own. Like this young couple at Kaa. You’ll sometimes run out of what you need to be happy with one another. Unless unless you daily invite Christ, who will always supply according to faith in him. Caitlyn, your mom texted me earlier this week. She reminded me of something that I said at your mom and dad’s wedding 33 years ago. Your mom has a much better memory than I do. And she said, “I I talked about the Greek word agape, a word in scripture that means love, but not just any kind of love. The kind of love, the sacrificial love that Christ had for us as our savior. Love that puts the other first as Christ did when he died for us. Make such agape love by God’s grace part of your life together. Caitlyn and Stone, God’s rich blessing to you as you begin this life together in Christ. And there can be nothing greater than this truth that I could leave with you. Nothing that would be better for you as husband and wife. Ecclesiastes 4, a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. Kalin, Stone, Jesus, and twin together by faith in his precious name.
