Jesus, consume me, guide my every thought, may all that I do be to glorify You and praise Your name, the Matchless Name of Jesus. You Lord are the Great Teacher, in You is all Truth and Wisdom. Through You the Love of the Father is manifest, His Grace and Mercy given to a lost ad dying world by His Only begotten Son, for it is by Faith in God’s Son Jesus that we may have fellowship with the Most High God.

The Jesus Questions

OCTOBER  02   JQ#27-9 “Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?”  (Matthew 22:12)  Jesus introduced in His 3rd Parable a list of 15 Phrases that makes us look at our daily lives and all the things that we accept in the way of “Tradition” and typical family values that do not require us to “figure-it-out” but these are the things we do day-in and day-out. Jesus is demonstrating that we can know God by looking at our daily lives, God has established the institution of family and has proven that He will provide everything we need if we will simply accept His “Invitation” to the marriage. The last 4 Phrases - {Phrase 6-9} gave us great insight into how we typically respond to His “Invitation” and the next 6 Phrases demonstrate the great effort God has extended to us — {Phrase 10” “…[the certain king] prepared…” and beyond preparing everything needed for the “Wedding Supper” God has prepared in detail above and beyond anything we could prepare for ourselves as Jesus gives details of the “preparation” as He lists {Phrase 11} “…my dinner…” and {Phrase 12} “…my oxen…” {Phrase 13} “…and [the] fatted cattle are killed…” then He sums it all up with {Phrase 14} “…all things are ready…” When you look at these 5 Phrases together we see that God has provided not only for our physical need but for our spiritual needs as well with a “dinner” for food and “oxen” and “the fatted cattle are killed” thereby providing for our spiritual through sacrifices … Friends, God has done everything necessary for our Eternal Joy but we must do our part and {Phrase 15} “…Come to the wedding…” !!! All preparations are made on God’s Part, all that’s left is for us to prepare by honoring the King by wearing the “proper wedding garment” and Jesus has taught that if we will “Accept” God’s Invitation that we will be clothed in His Righteousness which is just another thing God Provides for all who Repent and Believe that Jesus is God’s Son!!!!
