Great Gifts For The Guests Of The Bride

For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14

The Bible tells us that when our Father comes and judgment happens that everyone who has ever lived, both good and bad, Matthew 22:10, will be there. Everyone who has ever been born will be there at the Wedding Feast, some of us as the Bride and the rest as guests, most of the guest will stay, at least one will be cast out, but everyone will be there when our Father enters the room. So this part of the parable of The Marriage Supper has to stand for something else, because Jesus tells us that many, not all are called. Jesus has to be speaking of those who have been called to be part of the Bride of Christ before His Millennial Reign. Not everyone will be called to be part of the Bride and out of the many who are called, only a few are chosen to be the Bride.

Think of the parts of the world that for centuries have never heard of Jesus. Think of the billions of people who have died that never heard the Gospel preached to them. Think of all the people who have heard it and rejected it. When you consider all of these people, it only makes sense that only a few of us, out of these billions of people, will be chosen. But the glorious Truth is that does not mean for a second that those who weren’t ever called or chosen to be the Bride of Christ, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. There will be many guests who are allowed to stay with the Bride and Groom for all of eternity. These people will be served night and day by us and it will be a glorious life for them. It will not be a life as one with Jesus, but it will be a glorious life none the less.

Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. Revelation 21:3-4

Those who are called and chosen will be the Bride, we will be one with Jesus, we will no longer be men, we will be as Jesus is, 1 John 3:2. These verses in Revelation are not talking about the Bride of Christ, but they are talking about the gifts that the guests of the wedding receive from the Father of Groom. So not a bad way to spend eternity is it? There will be no death for the guests who are allowed to stay, no fear, no anguish, no sorrow, and no mourning and everything will be provided by God as He is living right there with them.

The Holy Spirit tells us that we rule and reign with Jesus, our Groom, for all of eternity. The body does not rule and reign over itself. The arm does not rule the lungs and the lungs do not rule the feet. Body parts are all one and we are now and forevermore the one Body of Christ. So there has to be people that we rule and reign over, these people are the guests that Jesus talks about in this parable.

The guests that are allowed to stay and live forever in the Marriage Supper are those who did not commit the only unforgivable sin, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Isn’t this parable great?
