I read this yesterday in a book Rock gave me: "Jesus' teachings are truly learned only when you become the teaching."
Where do we find ourselves in The Story of the Wedding Banquet? I like to think of us as the servants who are going out to invite "outsiders" into the party.
So what's the deal with the guy who gets dragging in off the street and then gets thrown out for not having the right clothes on?
The answer lies in a teaching of Paul's to the church in Colossi, "So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it."
