The Wedding Banquet
Matthew 22:1-14
Who is the man not dressed in wedding clothes? Everyone was invited. When there was still room they went and found more people to fill the banquet! One man came and was not suppose to be there.
The initial invitees did not want to come and The master tried to persuade them to come. God wanted to make sure they knew how awesome the banquet would be. Through kindness the master persuaded them and even sent his son.
When persuasion did not work and the invitees responded with evil intent the master destroyed their city! God will always try with kindness to lead us to repentance. If Thiago does not work and we do not repent he uses discipline!
The man that was thrown out knew it was a wedding and new he should of had wedding clothes. God help the people get prepared through kindness and then through discipline. If that doesn't work and you still do not respond you become like the man that was thrown out. You gotta show up to the wedding and you have to be prepared for a wedding!
Being invited does not mean your welcome at the banquet. Showing up does not mean your welcome at the banquet. Only the one dressed and ready for the wedding is welcome at the banquet!
Where is God acting in kindness in our lives? Where is God discipling us and what do we need to change in order to be ready?
