May peace and love be with all of you. - In this wonderfull parable in Matthew 22:1-14.v. Jesus tells us how the Kingdom of Heaven is like, and how to come there ? - for those who believe, it is easy to understand, because we know that Jesus have paid the price for us.
But what happen in this parable, it tells us, that a lot of christian beliewers reject the invitation, - it is a great chock, - is it not for you to ? for all of us ? - because I think Jesus Christs comming are so close, so very close, and could happen rigth now, just like - a twinkle of an eye !
Are we ready, did we understand that we must have oil (the Holy Spirit in us) on our lamps and in our jugs ? - Have we laid down our life with the feet of Jesus, saying: your will Lord, not mine, be done in my life ?
Have we let the Holy Spirit clean us, some-times through hard circumstances ? - or did we feel hard proven, when just a fingernail is broken ? - can we make the word of our brother king David, in psalm 23. to our own ? - let us do it friends !
I think it is what the wedding-dress is all about, let us say yes to the wedding, and let the Holy Spirit make us ready and worthy, - in the name of Jesus Christ our great Saviour and Redeemer, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our wonderfull Deliverer ! - se you all soon I hope - Jan Mikael !

Compare with Revised Standard Version: Matt.22
1: And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3: And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4: Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5: But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7: But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8: Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9: Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10: So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11: And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13: Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14: For many are called, but few are chosen.
