Happy Anniversary Josh and Shannon

We honor the marraige of Josh and Shannon Webb today, celebrate their life together and remember their wedding day:

When you stand before the Lord, He will not ask you:

Did you have great success in the eyes of the world?

Did you have lots of kids who all went to UCLA or Libery?

Were you able to give expression to all your fantasies and desires, pursue your individual careers, and make payments, too?

He will ask you:

Did you show in your marriage the mystery of Christ's love to the Church?

As you maintain your different complementary roles: As you stay committed exclusively to each other your entire lives (even in the tough times) in obedience to Scripture: As you model the self-giving love of Christ as a husband and the submissive service of the Church as a wife,

you both preach the Gospel.

On that day when you, Josh, present Shannon radiant to the Lord, without spot or blemish, after you have both been totally committed to each other, having practiced Biblical teamwork in the context of marriage's transcendant meaning, may your faithfulness have as it's reward that there would be many at that great heavenly wedding feast of the Lamb - including your own children - who are there because they have seen lived out in your marriage, in some humble but tangible way the mystery of the transcendant, amazing love story of Christ and His Bride.

To God be the glory forever and ever!
