—Matthew 22:1-10

Few had the honor of being invited to the wedding banquet. Unfortunately, they did not accept the honor, rejecting the invitation, and treating the messengers with disrespect or worse. The king then opened up the banquet to any willing to come, asking only that they wear a wedding garment. He ignored the guests’ character and reputations as long as they were willing to come on his terms. That is how God chooses his people today. He invites all kinds of characters, merely asking them to meet his terms of entrance. We need to be accepting of the people God has invited.
