Key Points

• God’s purpose to sanctify a bride for his Son is woven through the Bible as a mystery.
• The mystery is slowly being revealed through shadows and types such as Abraham, Isaac, and Rebecca. 
• Every Jewish wedding is a shadow of the consummation of His eternal covenant.
• Everyone is given an invitation to the wedding. But only those with the wedding attire (his righteousness) are in matrimony. 
• The Spirit and the Bride (the Church) are to be continually inviting others in this relationship with Jesus.

Discussion Questions

1. Read Genesis 24 together.
   • Discuss the parallels of Rebekah and the Church.
   • Discuss the parallels of Isaac and Jesus.
   • Discuss the parallels of Abraham and The Father (God).
   • Discuss the parallels of the Servant (Eleazar) and the Holy Spirit. 
2. Discuss your reactions to the visual (wedding) at the end of service.
3. Are you handing out invitations? Why not?
