Parables of Jesus
Luke 21 & Matthew 22

2. Luke 21:29-31
He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

3. What season are we in?

4. Matthew 22:2-7
"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4"Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle

5. Matthew 22:2-7
have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.' 5 "But they paid no attention and went off--one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 

6. Matthew 22:8-10
"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 

7. Matthew 22:11-14
"But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. 13 "Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness,

8. Matthew 22:11-14
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 "For many are invited, but few are chosen."

9. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…”
A king preparing a wedding banquet for His son.
Our Heavenly Father would be the King.
Jesus is the son.

10. Who were invited but didn’t come? Who did get to come?
Is there a wedding banquet that is to come?
Who were invited but didn’t come?
Who did get to come?
Without something, they were not allowed into Heaven, what was it?

11. Do we have wedding clothes?

12. Revelation 19:7-9
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." 9 Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'

13. Ephesians 5:27
and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

14. Do you have your seasonal clothing on?
That means more than just believing there is an invitation.
Are you ready to present yourself before Him?
Are you still wearing something else?
