4THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
- Matt 221-15
- 1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying
- 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who
prepared a wedding banquet for his son. - 3 He sent his servants to those who had been
invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but
they refused to come. - 4 "Then he sent some more servants and said,
'Tell those who have been invited that I have
prepared my dinner My oxen and fattened cattle
have been butchered, and everything is ready.
Come to the wedding banquet.' - 5 "But they paid no attention and went off-- one
to his field, another to his business. - 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them
and killed them. - 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and
destroyed those murderers and burned their city. - 8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding
banquet is ready, but those I invited did not
deserve to come. - 9 Go to the street corners and invite to the
banquet anyone you find.' - 10 So the servants went out into the streets and
gathered all the people they could find, both
good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled
with guests. - 11 "But when the king came in to see the guests,
he noticed a man there who was not wearing
wedding clothes. - 12 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here
without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. - 13 "Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him
hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.' - 14 "For many are invited, but few are chosen."

Matt 225-7 5 "But they paid no attention and
went off-- one to his field, another to his
business. 6 The rest seized his servants,
mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was

murderers and burned their city.
PAID NO ATTENTION Gk. made light of To
give little consideration to to ignore or
act as if it doesnt exist. TO HIS FIELD and
BUSINESS Went on about with life as if There
were no King, there was no Son, there was no
coming banquet. In total disrespect for the
Sovereign Ruler. SEIZED HIS SERVANTS MISTREATED
They hate you because they first hated
me SENT HIS ARMY - 70 AD, and the Coming WRATH
8THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
III. The Banquet OPENED TO ALL (8-10)
Matt 228-10 8 "Then he said to his servants,
'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I
invited did not deserve to come. 9 Go to the
street corners and invite to the banquet anyone
you find.' 10 So the servants went out into the
streets and gathered all the people they could
find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was
filled with guests.
INVITE ANYONE YOU FIND Gods invitation is not
exclusive not prejudiced it is not
limited - it is not for a chosen few. It
is open to ALL. That is how we must preach the
Gospel and that is how we must run our
Church! BOTH GOOD AND BAD None are righteous
on their own. There will be both good and bad in
hell good and bad in heaven. It all depends
upon what one does with JESUS CHRIST!
9THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
IV. The Banquet ATTIRE (11-14)
Matt 2211-14 11 "But when the king came in to
see the guests, he noticed a man there who was
not wearing wedding clothes. 12 'Friend,' he
asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding
clothes?' The man was speechless. 13 "Then the
king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot,
and throw him outside, into the darkness, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.' 14 "For many are invited, but few are
chosen."
Not wearing Wedding Clothes Custom King and
Princes to make available fine wedding garments
(a change of clothing) to the very special
guests. (Rev. 19 - Fine linen was given to
her) The man was SPEECHLESS There will be no
argument, lawyers or excuses on that day! Many
are invited but few are chosen The Lord has
been more than fair He chooses those who
respond to His invitation and are willing to wear
the WEDDING CLOTHES! For those who are NOT
WILLING Forever separated from The Lord!
