Covenant Renewal and Worship: Foretaste of Everlasting Sabbath at Marriage Supper of the Lamb

"We gather each Lord's Day not merely out of habit, social custom, or felt needs but because God has chosen this weekly festival as a foretaste of the everlasting Sabbath day that will be enjoyed fully at the marriage supper of the Lamb. God has called us out of the world and into his marvelous: That is why we gather" (Michael Horton, A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God-Centered Worship, 24).
