Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

In our marriage liturgy, the bride and groom vow their faithfulness to one another until death us do part. As joyous as they are, all marriages begin with that reality -- they will not last forever. But on the wedding day, the joy far outshines that reality. That was the situation for the disciples. He told them that he was going to be betrayed, arrested, and crucified. He didn't tell them when. So the joy of being with Him, enabled them to safely tuck that reality away.
