Don’t Worry About Your Wrinkles
Jesus thought through everything in preparing His bride for the ultimate wedding day. We must cooperate with His leadership, as Esther made beauty preparations for her wedding (Esth. 2). 27
that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. (Eph. 5:27)
Let’s unpack this verse: You Will be Holy: Holiness equips you to enjoy life together with God. The call to holiness is a call to live in agreement with God and to enjoy the pleasure of being fascinated by the beauty of Jesus. We stand as a pure virgin in God’s sight by receiving the gift of Jesus’ righteousness (2 Cor. 11:2). All that hinders us from receiving God’s affections is removed (2 Cor. 5:17-21).

Without spot: Jesus will remove all the spots from your heavenly garments. Today, you might get into the mud and struggle with the devil, flesh and sin. But on the wedding day, as the Bride you will be clothed with perfect and glorious garments. 8
To her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Rev. 19:8) Without wrinkle: Good news. Jesus will remove all aging so we live forever in perpetual youth and health. Without blemish: Jesus will remove all physical blemishes. This was a familiar term used in the Old Testament sacrificial system. Only unblemished animals were to be presented before the Lord (Lev. 1:10; 3:1, 6; 4:32; 14:10; 22:19). To have no blemish speaks of possessing perfect beauty without anything defective. So, the Holy Spirit is working day and night. He’s the gardener of your soul. On that day you’ll be without spot, without wrinkle and with no blemish. Glory! Much Blessings Pablo Perez
