In this episode, Derek shares the customs of a traditional Jewish Wedding and how the traditional practice aligns with the words of Jesus. Once the Bride and Groom have decided to get married, the Groom goes away and prepares a room in is Fathers house for them to live in. A while later the Groom returns for the Bride, but only the Father knows when that is.

Jesus is the Groom and He has gone away for a while to prepare a room for us in The Fathers house. At any moment He will return, but we must be ready for His arrival.
