Your child’s wedding, were the ones you invited worthy to come?
Matthew 22:2-14”The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, “and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. “Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See. I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.”’ “But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. “And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. “But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. “Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. ‘Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding,’ “So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have a wedding garment. “So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
There are religions today, that with mans doctrine have come to a conclusion that only the members of their group attend the wedding ceremony. They feel that only certain people are worthy to attend the wedding ceremony of their child. They will even exclude the families and parents of one of the spouses if they are not part of the religious group, and feel they are not worthy to attend. This action, and men’s doctrine, has stepped their religion above what even God says is right.
If we ever make our group of people gathered together in Jesus name, a group, that we as a group decide, who is worthy and who is not worthy to belong, we have taken what the group says over what God’s will is.
It is the same thing that early religion did, and when Jesus came the first time to earth, He was not recognized by them because of their vain traditions and doctrines of men.
It is not for me to point out what this religion is, I will let God’s word do the dividing, it is the sword of the spirit that should always be used to show what religion is true.
Who is invited to your child’s wedding? It may expose your religion to those that take the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, to bring out the truth.
You should invite who you will and let God decide after they arrive if they are worthy. The prejudgement is taking God’s job away from HIm.
