Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving greetings to you in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Today let us learn something about the kingdom of
heaven and who are all eligible to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has told in Mat 22:14, “For many are
invited, but few are chosen." What is the reason for many
people who were invited could not come to the stage in which God
can chose them? Attend the banquet of the bridegroom because the
bible itself says the called are many but only few are selected.
Because we see many do not pay attension to the call fully or
do justice to the word of God in their lives. They are busy with
so many other things of their own interest as in Mat 22:5, “But
they paid no attention and went off--one to his field, another
to his business.
Jesus told a parable about the kingdom of God
is like a man who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. It is
not that easy that we can go to heaven but we must have our garment
of salvation. In the banquet when king saw a man without the garment
of wedding clothes he asked him why you are not having a proper
dress as in Mat 22:11 & 12, “But when the king came
in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing
wedding clothes. ‘Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in
here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. When a
person is not having the proper dress he will be sent outside
as in Mat 22:13, “Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie
him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' A day is going to
come Jesus will judge this world as per our deeds he will reward
us that time many who do not have their garment of salvation and
whose garment are with dirt will be disqualified for entering
into the heaven. At that times who are all without the proper
garment of salvation will be speechless. The church the body of
Christ and the fellowship of saints helps us to take care of our
garment and to maintain them that it may not become dirt. So that’s
why we are advised not to neglect the church as some people neglect
the assembly of God as in Heb 10:25, “Let us not give up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
If you ask a question, Who can enter into the kingdom of heaven?
That is only those who do the will of God as in Mat 7:21, “Not
everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom
of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven? Also the bible answers to the question Who can enter into
the heaven? those who willingly and forcibly try to enter into
the heaven only can make it as in Mat 11:12, “From the days
of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been
forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.”
So today is the day of salvation let us analyze
our self. The fellowship of the saints is very important, and
then the Holy Communion is very important in that we are remembering
Jesus and the death of Jesus who died for our sins.
May the Lord help each one of us to enter into
the kingdom of heaven with paying proper attension to it and by
properly maintaining the garment of salvation. Amen.
