1 | The dress code of the day? | Matt 22:11 | Wild Olive Shoot | 156249 | ||
I’ve read that it was customary for the wedding guests to be given “wedding clothes†to be worn at the banquet. To refuse to wear them would insult the host. The guest was seen as arrogant as though he didn’t need the clothes, or that he didn’t want to participate in the celebration. In the parable, the wedding clothes are the righteousness needed to enter God’s Kingdom. Christ has provided the clothes of righteousness. We much chose to put them on. “Observe, This hypocrite was never discovered to be without a wedding garment, till the king himself came in to see the guests. Note, It is God's prerogative to know who are sound at heart in their profession, and who are not. We may be deceived in men, either one way or other; but He cannot. The day of judgment will be the great discovering day, when all the guests will be presented to the King:… As soon as he came in, he presently espied the hypocrite; He saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment; though but one, he soon had his eye upon him; there is no hope of being hid in a crowd from the arrests of divine justice; he had not on a wedding garment; he was not dressed as became a nuptial solemnity; he had not his best clothes on. Note, Many come to the wedding feast without a wedding garment. If the gospel be the wedding feast, then the wedding garment is a frame of heart, and a course of life agreeable to the gospel and our profession of it, worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called (Eph_4:1), as becomes the gospel of Christ, Phi_1:27. The righteousness of saints, their real holiness and sanctification, and Christ, made Righteousness to them, is the clean linen, Rev_19:8. This man was not naked, or in rags; some raiment he had, but not a wedding garment. Those, and those only, who put on the Lord Jesus, that have a Christian temper of mind, and are adorned with Christian graces, who live by faith in Christ, and to whom he is all in all, have the wedding garment.†– Matthew Henry WOS |

More like devices for the purpose of inflicting excruciating discomfort while humiliating images are made on which strangers will comment. Yes, I survived, although with much lessened dignity! |
