Sunday night I preached a sermon on Heaven based on Revelation 21-22. On 21:2, where John saw the city coming down from Heaven, "prepared as a bride adorned for her husband," I commented that marriage is the greatest relationship this side of Heaven and is often used about Jesus and the church (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:22-32). I even dared to say that this particular phrase, "adorned for her husband," may specifically allude to sex, meaning that the joys of Heaven will be even greater than sex (though I chose slightly more palatable words in the sermon).
Nevertheless, a sweet, gray-haired lady from our church came into my office this morning for her weekly hug and said something that made my day.
Sweet, gray-haired lady: "That sermon you preached Sunday night...that about the sex...I've never thought about that."
Me: "Yeah, I know. I didn't mean to be risque but I think it's in there."
Sweet, gray-haired lady: "Oh me too. I liked that. I may be old but I remember what that was like!"
Gotta love it!
