Behold, The Bride Groom Cometh

John 14
Take your bibles please and turn to John chapter fourteen, John chapter fourteen, the three verses that I'm going to read to you this morning are perhaps some of the best known and best loved in all of the Bible but perhaps we'll see them this morning in somewhat of a different light than we've ever seen then before.

So, let me tell you how a courtship and a wedding took place so long ago.
First of all, I want to remind you that it was the groom that took the initiative, the groom would leave his father's house and he would go to the house of that prospective bride and there he would ...
