The Bride Is Called To Serve The Guests

And sent his servants to summon those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they refused to come. Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my banquet; my bullocks and my fat calves are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the wedding feast. But they were not concerned and paid no attention [they ignored and made light of the summons, treating it with contempt] and they went away--one to his farm, another to his business, Matthew 22:3-5

These three verses show us the Truth that we will be used by the Holy Spirit to call many to be part of the Bride. We will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so until the day that Jesus returns to set up His Millennial Reign. Many from Israel and many from the rest of the world will be called and told about the Truth, but only a few will be chosen to be Jesus' Bride, or another name for the Bride: God’s servants. An interesting note here: the Bible never teaches us that all will be called, but only that many will be called. The world cannot receive salvation, which is the privilege of becoming one with our Father and being used by Him serve the Kingdom, unless they are first chosen and empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept the calling. Jesus came to serve and we are one with Him, so we will be as He is, even while we are in this earth, 1 John 4:17.

Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3

Jesus refers to the Kingdom of Heaven as being like a Wedding Feast. At the Wedding Feast the Bride and Groom serve the Guests. The Bride and Groom make all of the arrangements so that the guests will have a great time and receive the best of things. Look at the wine that Jesus made from water for the wedding that He attended, it was the best that the people had ever tasted, John 2:8-10. Also remember that this parable is about the Wedding Feast, not the actual Wedding. The Wedding, when we were actually joined with Jesus was before the world ever was. We were chosen before we ever were. When we are born again is when we finally are made aware of the Truth that we are joined with Christ and married to Him. What Jesus is talking about here in this parable is the feast, the celebration of the wedding.

Think about this now, did any of the guests at the Wedding Jesus attended in John acknowledge Him as Lord? Or did they all know that He was the One that turned the water to wine? No one acknowledged Him as Lord at the Wedding Feast and not everyone there knew what He had done, yet they all were served by Jesus. This should begin to show you the Truth about who the guest are in eternity. This parable is a Truth about the Kingdom of Heaven and the Truth is that there are guests in Heaven, not everyone is the Bride!
