1). This is referring to the
parable of the marriage super. The whole parable is Matthew 22:1-14.
a). Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto
them again by parables, and said,
22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like
unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
22:3 And sent forth his servants
to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
22:4 Again, he sent forth other
servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my
dinner: my oxen andmy fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the
marriage.
22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:
22:6 And the remnant took his
servants, and entreated them spitefully,
and slew them.
22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
22:8 Then saith he to his
servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
22:9 Go ye therefore into the
highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
22:10 So those servants went out
into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad
and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
22:11 And when the king came in to
see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
22:12 And he saith unto him,
Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was
speechless.
22:13 Then said the king to the
servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
2). In this verse the King comes in
and sees a man who does not have on a wedding garment. Before I was born again
I used to hear this verse and get an attitude toward the king. I used to think
it was the king’s fault for not giving the guy a wedding garment. It wasn’t
until after I was born again that I heard this passage preached in the light of
the whole gospel that I really understood it. The “wedding garment” is a
garment of salvation provided by God through Jesus Christ at our salvation
experience.
a). Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly
rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me
with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
3). The marriage is the marriage
supper of the Lamb.
a). Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be
glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready.
19:8 And to her was granted that
she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints.
19:9 And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God.
4). Jesus said we must be born
again. The only way to get to heaven is to be born again.
