9. The Wedding Garment Quick Look 1. The One Who Invited (Matthew 22:2, 3,) 2. Those Who Were Invited (Matthew 22:5, 6, 10) 3. Those Who Were Investigated (Matthew 22:11, 12)

10. The Wedding Garment 1. The One Who Invited

11. Days of Fervor {292}

12. Its one thing to have a wedding. Its another thing for a king to have a wedding. And to be invited to a wedding put on by a king for his own son would have been a very high honor indeed. The wedding imagery there, particularly of t he son, is an obvious reference to the relationship between Jesus and His church. 1.The One Who Invited The King {294}

14. Not Worthy {294}

15. Have you ever noticed that some of the meanest, nastiest, and most hateful people are professed Christians? Or that some of the most judgmental, condemnatory, hypocritical, and downright evil people are those who go to church, who claim the promises of salvation, and who profess assurance of salvation? 2. Those Who Were Invited Not Worthy {296}

16. Its easy to say: these people werent real Christians. But how do you know? How can you judge their hearts, what they were taught, what opportunities they had to know better? What about the horrendous acts of those who turned out to be, it seems, pretty pious souls? Who are we to judge hearts? 2. Those Who Were Invited Not Worthy {296}

17. We shouldnt judgebut God does, should, and will (Romans 14:10; Hebrews 10:30; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Daniel 7:9, 10). Seventh-day Adventists call it the investigative judgment, and it is revealed in this parable. 2. Those Who Were Invited Not Worthy {296}

18. The Wedding Garment 3. Those Who Were Investigated

19. The Wedding Garment {298}

20. This parable draws a distinction between being a member of a church and being a sinner saved by the righteousness of Christ. They clearly arent the same things, are they? 3. Those Who Were Investigated The Wedding Garment {298} Look at your life, your deeds, your actions, your words, your thoughts, and your attitude. Do they reflect someone wearing Christs robe of righteousness or someone who has just come to the feast?
