The street corner can be an utterly lonely place . In the street corners of your life you are irrelevant and many people pass you by.
If The king threw a party you wouldn't expect to be there ,I mean why would mere men be invited at the king's table?
The parable Jesus told in Luke 22 of the great king who throws this amazing party for his son.
He sends out invite to the elite of the kingdom but everyone of them have an excuse and other businesses to attend to.
Then he asks his servant to go out to the street corners and invite anyone they find . What an honor !
Now the party has started and the king begins to walk amongst the guests finds a man who is not properly dressed . He asks the guards to throw him out . Why? The man was invited and showed up you would think the kings would be more merciful . ..
Many times we forget we are called to dine with the king. Our behavior and appearance must align with the environment we find ourselves . We don't go for a party in rags... neither do we go without a present for our host.
In the Christian walk we must remember that we are always at a dinner party of the king's son. We are to behave and look as such in order to honor the son.
We must be clothed in His righteousness which he already bought for us by His blood. We must honour Him and the sacrifice he made by walking in the way . We walk in the way by abiding in the Lord .
We must reflect the Christ who dwells within not believe he is in us and have nothing to show for .
We must be clean inside out.
At judgement when He comes make sure you aren't dressed in rags or out young I'll go where there will be gnashing of teeth.
