But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.Matthew 22:12 (ESV)
...a great multitude... standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.Revelation 7:9 (ESV)
In 2009, Michaele and Tareq Salahi were able to attend a White House State dinner hosted by President Obama for the Indian Prime Minister without an invitation. They certainly dressed the part and were able to mingle and chat with the VIPs including having a photo taken with VP Biden
There is another banquet hosted by King Jesus. All are welcome to attend but not everyone will be allowed to stay – only those who are robed in white (wedding clothes), whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Let's be thankful that because of Jesus we do not need to be gatecrashers.
Heavenly Father, we know that not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will be able to enter the Kingdom of heaven but only those who do Your will. Please help us to abide in You so that after sharing the gospel with others we ourselves will not be disqualified for the prize. In Jesus' name, Amen!
