Bible Portion: Matthew 22:1-14
1. Invited people dint attend the wedding
If you clearly read those passage, you can understand why they dint attend. Bible says in 5th verse that they made light of the calling. Even today most of the Christians are like that only. We were so lethargic in our calling thinking if we don’t go the heaven will not be filled. We are called to inherit the heaven. That’s true. But if we are so lethargic and carefree about our calling, we won’t inherit heaven.
2. Destroying the invited
The called ones treated the servants of the king shamefully. Many a times we do the same with Godly servants. We treat them shamefully by not heeding to the Godly word that comes through them. Verse 7 says that the king destroys those murderers and burned up their city. The king doesn’t even want the remaining of anything that belongs to those murderers. That’s the only reason he burned up their city after destroying them. God will do the same to you if you doesn’t heed to His word. Even you are an invited one; God will not spare you if you disobey His calling.
3. Others are invited
As the called ones became unworthy, the king invites others who were once not at all worthy to attend the marriage. Verse 10 says that the wedding was filled with guests. Heaven will be full even without you. Heaven is more important for you than you to Heaven. God will fulfil His work through others when you reject the same work.
4. Man who is lethargic
As the king came in to see the guests, he saw everyone with wedding garments except one. That particular man was also lethargic about God’s calling and that’s why he is not perfect. His lethargic attitude got a place for him in outer darkness where weeping and gnashing of teeth never ceases. If you are so lethargic in God’s calling that was given to you, you will miss Heaven and you will end up in reaching Hell.
Be serious about God’s calling. Fulfill it through God’s grace in God’s time. You will be a blessing to many and you will also be blessed by God.
