There are those God has chosen as his people; the Jews. The Old Testament shows us they have been stiff necked, hard headed and cold hearted. Yet his love persists.
God gave the Jews many prophets and His son, Christ Jesus to invite them into his grace - His wedding banquet.
Some were too busy and didn't pay attention and turned down the offer. Some rebelled, killed the prophets and killed Jesus.
Through His Son, and with help from the Apostles, he then invited anyone on the street (all us sinners) to come to Him, to his wedding banquet.
Some of us accepted His offer and promised to attend this celebration.
But what should we wear to His wedding banquet?
Here is a way to look at it...
After we accept Christ as our personal saviour and Lord of our life, we must change.
Change our thoughts
Change our behaviour
Change everything about ourselves of this world
We change our clothes - what we wear in this life on our way to the eternal.
The question to ask yourself, "So, I'm going to the Wedding Banquet - coool. Hmmm what should Io wear?"
What do you think?
I'm too busy to wash my clothes, I'll just put on this dirty dress, this stained suit.
Since I'm invited, it doesn't matter what I wear - how about those faded jeans? They make me feel comfortable.
It's important for me to be comfortable, then I'll be a better guest
Matthew 22:11-13 tells us that even if we go to the wedding banquet, it is important to dress appropriately (act appropriately).
The Lord didn't throw out the person that brought a lousy gift or a meager donation. The Lord threw out the guest that didn't take time to dress (live) the right way.
