The Marriage of the lamb- Jesus gave a parable regarding a wedding feast in which those that were invited were not worthy."So those servants went out into the highways,and gathered together all as many as they found,both good and bad:and the wedding was furnished with guest.And when the king came in to see the guest, he saw a man which had not on a wedding garment:The King had the man bound and cast into outer darkness" every married person and every wedding guest knows the extensive preparation that goes into a wedding.No bride waits until her wedding day to decide what to wear. Is the marriage of our lamb approaching and we have made no preparations to have on our wedding garments?
When once the master of the house is risen up ,and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without,and to knock at the door saying, Lord,Lord open unto us;and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are. Saints the bible says "Be ye Therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not".Saints we are to hurry up and wait,and while we wait we must remain faithful to our groom, being faithful in his absence.We are to live holy and upright lives, that we might be clothe in the righteousness of our Savior.
Believers can neither be complacent nor inactive as we wait for his return, our waiting must include the telling of others about the good news of the gospel.We are to live in a way that when Jesus comes, we can face Him confidently, knowing that our lives have brought honor and credit to Jesus and the Gospel message.The only clothing we need, our wedding gown will be the righteous acts we have done in the name of Jesus,acts that reflect the character of Jesus.
Will you be one of the five wise or will you wait till the last minute as did the five foolish?
