The Train

by Debra Burgess  
6/01/2014 / Christian Living

I have been thinking about wedding dresses of late. Last year I had been given a framed picture of a girl in overalls standing before a mirror with a wedding dress. My friend who gave it to me wanted me to think about what I will one day wear before the King. In an odd moment this past week I was looking through old videos of historic weddings which captivated the world's attention. My eyes focused upon the trains of these elegant gowns and I began to wonder about, "and the train of his robe filled the temple".

What if our viewpoint of what a train looks like is not the same as heaven's? In curiosity I looked up the word train and one of the first things to come up was, "teach (a person) a particular skill or type of behavior through practice and instruction over a period of time." And of course there is the obvious understanding too that a train carries lots of cars on the strength of the engine pulling it.

What if Christ's train was us? Meaning those he trained to look like him, to love like him, to act in mercy like him? I look again at the train of many wedding dresses and their design is to bless the groom in the beauty of his bride. I think too about, "there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes"

Every wedding dress I have ever seen was white. Imagine each of us standing in the temple wearing our white robes as his bride? Can you see it? Can you see yourself in His train?

*Isaiah 6:1, Rev 7:9

I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed.
