Scripture Matthew 22: 1-14

Jesus seemed to love to tell parables. This time He told of a King who had a marriage for his son. He sent his servants out to bring in all that had been invited to the wedding, but they wouldn’t come. He sent more servants to try to get them to come and they made up excuse after excuse. Some took his servants and treated them badly. And some they even killed. So he sent his servants into the highways to bring whoever they could find to the marriage.

This can be compared to the gospel of Jesus Christ. A lot of people have been presented with the gospel over the years. Many preachers have been treated badly and some even killed. The gospel first came to the Jews and when they wouldn’t accept it, it came to the Gentiles. (Thank God for that) I am so thankful today that I was given the opportunity to know Jesus.

God, one of these days will tell Jesus to come down and bring His children home. Jesus will come and all those who have accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour will be gathered together. There will be another marriage supper like the one in the scripture. That one will be the Marriage supper of the Lamb.

What a privilege will be ours. We did not to deserve it. It is only by the mercy and grace of God. We have so much to be thankful for. God sent His Son so that we might be saved and have eternal life. Do you know Him today? If not, why don’t you invite Him into your life. Then when Jesus returns, you too will go in to the marriage supper of the Lamb.




The marriage supper of the Lamb
Oh what an event it will be
It will be prepared for those
Who by His blood are free
