“My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment.” (Matthew 22:12) In the first half of the parable of the wedding feast, those being invited signifies the Jews. However, “Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.” (Matthew 22:5-6) In the latter half of the parable, those being invited signifies the gentiles. “The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.” (Matthew 22:10) The conclusion of the parable has far-reaching meaning : “But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'” (Matthew 22:11-13) Since all guests were wearing wedding garments, it is for sure that the man who did not wear a wedding garment was not because he could not, but because he did not. The king's punishment was very harsh : “Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” Not wearing the wedding garment means that the man's behaviour was centred around himself, and was not in accordance to God's will. Please listen to the advice of Jesus : “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out the demon in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'” Let us not be satisfied with external deeds, because God will look only into our hearts.
