Nothing is more beautiful than a Christmas wedding. Weddings are beautiful at every time of the year, of course, but there's something special about Christmas weddings.
Colors are deep and rich.
The carillon bells become Christmas bells. The Advent wreath and the Christmas tree decorate the sanctuary. Perhaps the wedding is after dark, with lights down and candles glowing. Our text for this Second Sunday after Christmas uses a number of images to illustrate the beautiful relationship God restores with His people. The one illustration that seems to dominate is the image of a marriage, a wedding, which takes place because of Christmas.
