Our paragraph topic is: (One guest is cast out) Part 2.
The party had started and the king was ready to make his entrance to see all the guest. He was excited that he finally had the celebration that he wanted for his son and the bride. So he entered the feast and viewed the guest as they were celebrating and feasting. Finally he came upon one guest that was not properly dressed for the occasion and inquired how he came to enter.
"And he said to him, ' Friend, how didst thou come in here without a wedding garment?' But he was speechless."
It is interesting to note that all were invited to attend the wedding feast. All were told that they were attending a wedding feast and all knew that the proper attire would be a wedding garment for this occasion. But this guest decided to come without a wedding garment. It was as though he decided to dishonor the host by coming without one.
The king wanted all to remember this happy occasion. He wanted all to talk about this event to everyone they saw. He wanted the word to spread of the wedding feast that took place so that people would know of this special event. The king did not want this event to be scarred by talk of one who came without a wedding garment, one who came in disrespect of the king and the bride and the groom. This was a happy occasion, a joyous occasion, one to remember for many years to come and not one to be talked about with scandal.
So Christ is telling this parable to the people that they will understand how the kingdom of heaven works similar to this wedding feast given by the king. God our Father wants all to come to the wedding feast. He invites the good and the bad, but all must come with the proper attire and not in disrespect of his graciousness. Come one come all let us celebrate the union of the Christ and the Church here on earth for the sacrifice has been made, the price has been paid, and the union of the two will now take place in this grand celebration.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
