This is the story of
the great wedding feast. Jesus used this
story to teach us what it will be like when He comes back to establish His
kingdom. This was a wedding feast and
all the guests who were initially invited were too preoccupied with their own
agendas to bother coming when it was time for the wedding to take place. The host of the wedding was furious with
those who spurned him and turned to those who would come, those who considered
the invitation something special and dropped everything else to hurriedly come.
The point Jesus made
is that we should never squander our opportunity to be ready for His
coming. We will never know when He will
show up and if we are not ready for Him, it will be too late. We should consider it an honor to be invited
to be a part of His wedding party. It
should be the number one priority of our lives.
We must be ready so that at any given moment we can join Him.
Don't assume anything
about the Lord's coming. He may come for
His church, or He may come for you, at any moment. Live each moment as if it were going to be
your last one on earth. If Jesus were to
come for you today, would you wish that you had more time to get ready, or
taken the time you had been given? Would
you be spurned by Him because you passed up His invitation to be ready while
you had it? If Jesus would call you home
today, what would He find you doing with your life?
Many are invited into
His kingdom, but few are chosen because most people do not value the treasure
of a life lived in Christ. Hell will be
full of people who waited one day too long.
