We've been to lots of weddings this summer, and before every wedding my husband asks, "do I have to wear a jacket?" There are certain expectations about how one dresses for various occasions; Jesus knew that too. In his parable of the wedding banquet, a guest is "escorted to the door" because he didn't dress properly for the event - showing up wasn't enough. God invites us to join the kingdom of God; let's get dressed properly for the party. This Sunday, Aug 16, 10:00 a.m.
