Few Are Chosen

Scripture

Mat 22:11-14 ESV "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. (12) And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. (13) Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' (14) For many are called, but few are chosen."


Observation

The Wedding Garment introduces imagery to show that righteousness, faithfulness & obedience to the will of God are important for members of the new community who have responded to the wedding invitation. (Footnote on Mat 22:12, New Spirit-filled Life Bible, NKjv, Thomas Nelsons, Inc. 2002 )


Application

This verses revealed many are accepted the invitation to the Kingdom of Heaven, but few are doing His will & prepare themselves to the coming of the Lord.


Response

Father, I want to be your chosen one & doing your will on the planet earth so that your name will be glorified. Amen.
