Calhoun Baptist Church News June 1, 2014~
Rev. David Van Bebber. Pastor:
Jesus Christ was with God the Father before the world was created. He is our source of eternal life with God. He wants to be the doorway to a new life for you. In the Old Testament of the Bible He was called the Lamb of God. Sacrifices were made for the sins of the people then. Jesus came to be our sacrificial Lamb.
We have been learning about the Parables of Jesus in Brother David’s Series of sermons “Discovering the Parables” since September of 2013.
The reading of the Word today was from Matthew 22:1-14 niv. about the parable of the “Wedding Banquet”.
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
The King told his servants to get other guest. So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
The king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ He had him thrown out into the darkness because he did not choose the proper wedding attite.
We learn from this parable that we must have on the right robe to get into the feast. The same applies to having the proper robe, that is the “Robe of Righteousness”, in order to enter Heaven for the Wedding Banquet God has prepared for his saints. Be aware of false doctrines that lead you to believe that you have on the correct attire to enter into heaven for the Wedding Banquet. If you do not you will be thrown out just as in this parable of the Wedding Banquet. Heaven is for real and Hell is for real too!
