Wedding Clothes


Numbers 23:11-26
Psalms 131, 132, 133
Romans 8:1-11
Matthew 22:1-14


Matthew 22:1-14

Two years ago I went to San Francisco with the local high school choir. One of my most memorable events was when they sang on the steps in the City Hall. The choirs stood at the foot of the main staircase. The upper floor was a gallery where numerous weddings were being conducted. One had a hundred guests and one three. Some brides were in a long white gown, one in a short yellow dress and the rest are lost in my memory. They were all in the right place at the right time and it was obvious who was the bride in each ceremony.
Sometimes we can take ourselves to church on a Sunday, say and do all the right things but our heart is cooking the dinner and planning the afternoons shopping expedition. God knows what we are really wearing.
