The wedding garment...

Mattthew 22: 1-14 talks about a wedding feast that a king had prepared for his son. The king sent out his servants to invite guests to come. The servants were met with all kinds of excuses and the guests refused to come. The king sent out more servants giving them instructions to tell the guests that he had butchered the oxen and fattened cattle. Come and feast and be filled, but they still paid no attention. One went to tend his field another his business and the rest mistreated and killed the king's servants. This angered the king greatly. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and their city.
Then he said to his servants, the feast is ready. Those that I invited did not deserve to come. Go into the streets and byways and invite anyone you meet. Tell them to come and be filled with all the goodness of a feast of the king. So many guests came, both good and bad and the wedding hall was filled.
When the king came in he noticed right away that one of the guests wasn't wearing a wedding garment. He asked the man how he got in without a wedding  garment but he was speechless. The king ordered him bound and thrown out into outer darkness, where there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth.
'"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

Simply put...The parable is about God's invitation to everyone to accept His gift of the Gospel and eternal life.
There is a wedding feast planned in the future. The wedding of Jesus Christ and His bride the church. It's called "The Marriage Supper of the Lamb". It's a feast that God the Father wants none of us to miss, but some will as the parable states, out of pure indifference.
The garment that's needed to attend the feast is simply the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Without that garment there is no entry.
Accepting Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior of our lives, and putting our trust fully in Him. Turning from our wrong doing and following His example, is all that's needed to enter. A simple honest and heart felt prayer such as.... Lord forgive me a sinner, please come into my heart and save me. Change me into the person you created me to be...

Will you be at "The Marriage Supper of the Lamb?" The greatest feast ever to be prepared! Or will you be cast out as the one without the wedding garment?
The choice is yours to make. I'll be there. I pray I'll see you there too.

"Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on Him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon." Isaiah 55: 6-7
 
In fact, all of Isaiah 55 describes God's invitation to us, and what's in store for all who will accept. Don't miss out...
