June is the traditional month for weddings, and many invitations encourage guests to wear a particular color or specified attire. You dress appropriately for the most memorable occasions. In today’s parable of the wedding feast of a king, a wedding crasher shows up, distinctive because he is wearing the wrong clothes. The imposter is ushered out, strongly condemned. He didn’t belong.

But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment.

Matthew 22:11

There will soon be a wedding feast at the marriage of Christ and his bride, the church. God has designed the robes for the occasion – righteous garments of fine linen, bright and pure (Revelation 19:8). There will be no imposters there…no one that is detestable or false, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 21:27).

But beware: evil people and deceivers abound in today’s world who would lead you away from living a godly life in Christ (II Timothy 3:13). Do not let your “itching ears” deceive you. (II Timothy 4:3-5). As the Gospel is being perverted, pray that you will be unshakeable. Intercede for America’s Christian leaders to remain strong in their faith and a solid witness to those around them.
