The disciples of John approached
Jesus and said,
“Why do we and the Pharisees fast much,
but your disciples do not fast?”
Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn
as long as the bridegroom is with them?
The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them,
and then they will fast.”
“Why do we and the Pharisees fast much,
but your disciples do not fast?”
Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn
as long as the bridegroom is with them?
The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them,
and then they will fast.”
Why then, do we as Christians fast on Fridays during lent? “the
bridegroom is taken away from them and then they will fast.” In remembrance of
Jesus’ death, we fast – the bridegroom has been momentarily taken from us.. but
He will come back! On Easter. What wonders to look forward to. He is coming
back – not just rising from the tomb, but back for us all.
