Invited But Not Worthy Matt 22:8 · Life For Toledo

0:00
Jesus tells the parable in Matthew 22 and in verse 8 he says this in that parable.
0:05
Then he said to his slaves, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not
0:10
worthy.
0:11
In this parable, not worthy seems to be about making excuses, about not coming when it's
0:17
ready.
0:18
He prepared the feast and they declined to attend.
0:21
If you have an excuse, you can be excused, but it will mean you are not going to make
0:26
it in.
0:27
Ultimately, there will be no more room even for repentance because he said, we prepared
0:32
the feast, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy and that's
0:38
because they made excuses.
0:39
So I would say today, start thinking of yourself and say, hey, am I making excuses to not do
0:45
the things that God would have me to do?
0:48
Have I listened to the persuasions of the world to get me to do things that the world
0:53
wants me to do instead of what God wants me to do?
0:55
Maybe turn the TV off and spend some time in the Word of God or get on right now media,
1:00

1:04
listen to Bible studies, watch God-friendly family entertainment with your children if
1:10
you have them, or even for yourself.
1:12
I like a lot of kids shows that are godly.
1:15
So no more excuses, let's be found worthy.
1:19
God bless you today.
