heaven feast
(June 28, 2009) (Mt 22:1~14)
In our lifetime, we will attend many feasts.
One hundred days party, first birthday party, birthday party, wedding party - There is a party for oneself and a party for others.
It is fun when many guests come to your party. So, I attend other people's banquets if possible.
Occasionally, several parties overlap on the same day. - In that case, you will inevitably go to a party with someone you are closer to, and go to a more serious party.
When the feasts overlap, you can tell who cherishes the person more.
A feast is not just a feast for people.
Today, we are all attending the feast. - The heavenly feast was held here today.
It is clear that those who attend the heavenly feast are those who have good faith, and those who go out into the world before the heavenly feast are those who love the world more than God.
If you value God more than anything else in the world, you will not go to another place without turning away from the heavenly feast on Sunday.
What kind of feast is the feast in heaven?
1. It is a feast given by God.
For every feast, there is the owner of the feast who gave it.
For the 100th birthday party or first birthday party, the parents of the child prepare a feast and welcome guests.
The wedding feast is also mainly held by the parents of the bride and groom.
Who gave the feast in heaven? - The feast in heaven is not a feast given by the pastor. - Who gave the feast?
(22:2) - “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who made a wedding feast for his son” - The king of the world, the king of kings, a feast - This is a feast from God.
*When the party that an acquaintance gave you and the party your father gave you overlapped with - which party should you go to?
* When the feast of the world overlaps with the feast of God - which one should we go to?
If you are a believer who truly believes in God as the King of kings, even if you give up on everything, you will attend the heavenly feast.
I hope that all of you are believers who believe in God as the King of kings.
Heavenly Feast, Sunday Worship - It is a feast given by God.
2. A feast for Jesus.
Just as it matters who the party is - who the party is for is very important.
If a birthday party for a friend and a birthday party for your father overlap, who should you go to?
So, who is the feast for heaven?
(22:2) - “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who made a wedding feast for his son.”
A feast for the Son of God - A feast for Jesus.
If there is something more important than the feast for Jesus, I should go there - but if you are a saint who has been saved by the grace of Jesus, you should consider the feast for Jesus as the greatest feast.
Jesus is the lifesaver who saved our lives. He is our savior who even gave his life for us to save us. Never forget the feast for our Savior, Jesus.
3. This is a fully equipped feast.
There are many things to eat at a feast given by the rich. The poor man's feast doesn't have enough food. - Is our God rich? Are you poor?
(22:4) - "Again, he sent other servants, saying, "Come to the wedding banquet, for I have prepared a supper, and I have slaughtered my oxen and fattened animals, and everything is ready." - This is the feast that had everything.
Of course, it was prepared from cattle and fattened animals. - It is a feast full of spiritual food. - Not only that.
He is the God who prepared all the robes (party clothes) to be worn by the guests attending the feast. - Clothes of forgiveness.
4. It is a feast for everyone to come.
Pastors are not the only ones who attend the Heavenly Feast as representatives. The heavenly banquet is not only attended by registered saints. The heavenly feast is not only attended by the righteous.
(22:9~10) - “Go to the four-way street and invite everyone you meet to the wedding banquet. One servant went out on the road and brought everyone they found, both good and bad, and the wedding banquet was full of guests.”
Our God tells us to bring anyone we meet. The servants brought anyone they could find.
Some of them were good and some were bad. - He was not cast out as an evil person.
Please bring good people too. Bring in the evil one too.
Bring the rich, bring the poor. Anyone please bring.
5. You must not become ineligible for heaven.
The God who told everyone to come, the God who said that even the evil ones should come - Despite this, there are too many people who could not participate in the feast. Some even went to a feast and were kicked out.
Who was not a guest of the feast?
① Those who decline the invitation will of course not be able to enjoy the feast.
(22:7) - “The king was angry, and he sent his army to destroy the murderers and burn the town.” - Every Sunday he used the church to hold a feast, and God, who invites them to come, destroys those who refused to the end of the burning hell. He warned that he would destroy them by throwing them into the
② Those who do not wear formal clothes
