Faith in the Fog

Reading today in Matthew 22:1-14, So a King is having his son get married and he is pretty excited about it. He calls up all of the elite and gives them an invitation. At first, his subjects politely refuse, but then they end up killing some of the messengers. The King gets really angry about this, and starts inviting every body to the banquet. He invites the good and the bad. Weird. The king invited the good people and the bad people. They all got an equal shot at coming.

Once again, the Gospel is not about making bad people good…

So the party rolls around and the peeps are all there and they are dressed to the nines,. Then Jesus describes a random weird guy who is wearing jean shorts, flip flops, and an over sized Tommy Bahama shirt. The king walks over to him and is like hey buddy where are your wedding clothes?” The guy just stares at him, jaw dropping to the floor, and says nothing.

No excuses. This guy didn’t belong. He wasn’t chosen. The guy looked around and probably thought he was dressed like everyone else. But he never had been clothed with Christ. This guy was fakin the funk and the King could see right through him. He didn’t realize he was even at a wedding..

I think a lot of Christians are living like that. They have gotten enough Christianity to innoculate them from the real thing. Especially in Dallas.

Here you go to chruch, because that is what you do. But how many of us, when Jesus comes back will be wondering what’s going on and never get ready for the wedding of Christ to His church.

Ask yourself that question, Are you ready for the wedding? or is that concept ridiculous to you?

The answer will determine the state of your soul.
