被邀请的人多,被选上的人少! 马太福音22:2-14节
一. 犹太人拒绝参加王为他儿子预备的婚宴! 太22:2-7
1.天国好比一个王为他儿子摆设娶亲的婚宴.就打发仆人去,请那些被邀请的人来赴宴.他们却不来.
2. 王又打发别的仆人,说:你们去告诉,那些被邀请的人,婚宴已经预备好了,牛和肥畜已经宰了. 各样都齐备,请你们来赴宴.那些人不理就走了.一个到自己田里去;一个作买卖去. 其余的拿住仆人,凌辱他们,把他们杀了.22:4-6节
3. 王就大怒,发兵除灭那些凶手,烧毁他们的城.22:7
二. 邀请所有的人来赴宴. 马太福音22:8-14
1. 王对仆人说喜宴已经齐备,只是所邀请的人不配.所以你们去路口上,凡遇见的,都邀请来赴宴. 那些仆人就去大路上,凡遇见的,不论是善恶都请了来.宴席就坐满了客人.22:8-102. 王进来观看宾客.见那里有一个没有穿礼服的,就对他说,朋友,你到这里来怎么不穿礼服昵? 那人无言可答.22:11-123. 于是王对仆人说,捆起他的手脚来,把他丢在外边的黑暗里,在那里必要哀哭切齿了.22:134. 因为被邀请的人多,选上的人少.马太福音22:14节三. 客人有责任必须自己穿礼服!
1. 提摩太后书2:20节
上主日我讲道时提到:
在大户人家,不但有金器,银器,也有木器瓦器.有作为贵重的,有作为卑贱的.
今天主日礼拜,在座的人都是被邀请来参加属灵的婚宴!
我们来到教会,每一个人自己必须负责追求成为金器银器,成为教会里贵重的器皿!
不然的话,就只能成为木器瓦器!
2. 罗马书13:12-14节.
黑夜已深,白昼将近;我们就当脱去暗昧的行为,带上光明的兵器.
行事为人要端正,好像行在白昼;不可荒宴醉酒.不可好色邪荡,不可争竟嫉妒. 总要披戴主耶稣基督,不要为肉体安排,去满足它的私欲!
a. 是你自己的责任,要脱去暗昧的行为!
b. 是你自己的责任,要带上光明的兵器!
c. 是你自己的责任,行事为人要端正,走在白昼的光明中!
d. 是你自己的责任,总要披戴主耶稣基督!
e. 是你自己的责任,不可荒宴醉酒.不可好色邪荡,不可争竟嫉妒,
不可为肉体安排,去满足它的私欲!
f. 若是你没有这样做,你就必须记得这里所说:
于是王对仆人说,捆起他的手脚来,把他丢在外边的黑暗里,在那里必要哀哭切齿了.22:13
今天你有幸已经被邀请来到基督的教会.你有机会追求成为贵重的器皿.
请不要成为木器瓦器!
3. 彼得前书5:5节
你们年轻的人,要顺服年长的.就是你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服,因为神阻挡矫傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人.
a. 我认为,你们都知道这里所说的"年长的人"是什么意思!是教会里灵性生命成长,多参加教会事奉工作的人!
b. 这是说:你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服!愿神赐福保守各位从今直到永远!
二零一零年九月十二日讲这篇!
Many are invited few are chosen! Matt.22:14A. The Jews refused to come to the king’s wedding banquet. Matt.22:2-71. The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. Matt. 22:2-32. Then he sent some more servants and said, `Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet. But they paid no attention and went off-- one to his field, another to his business. 3. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. Matt. 22:4-64. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Matt.22:7B. All are invited to come! Matt.22:8-141. Then he said to his servants: The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find. So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. Matt.22:8-102. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He said: Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes? The man was speechless. Matt.22:11-123. The king told the attendants: Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 22:134. For many are invited, but few are chosen. Matt.22:14C. It is the guests responsibility to wear wedding clothes!1. 2 Tim. 2:20 As we learned last Sunday: In a large house there are vessels not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. We are all invited to come to the spiritual wedding banquet each Sunday! When we are here in the church, it is each one’s responsibility to strife to become vessels of gold and silver! These are for noble purposes. But we know many may become vessels of wood and clay!2. Ro. 13:12-14 The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to the lusts. a. It is you who is to cast off the works of darkness! b. It is you who is to put on the armor of light! c. It is you who have to walk becomingly, as in the day! d. It is you who is to put on the Lord Jesus Christ! e. It is you who is to make no provision for the flesh, to the lusts! f. If you failed to do these, you are the one to be cast out into darkness! Now that you are here, you have the chance to make it! Don’t miss it!3. 1 Peter 5:5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."a. I think you all know “older” means the more advanced in the Lord!Such as obey your father and mother in the Lord. Eph.6:1 b. It is all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another!
May God bless you and keep you always! Preach this one on September 12, 2010.
