Prayer relationship to Christ
What frees us from problems? No matter who you are or how important you are, you need to be in prayer. We need to have others pray for us & our problems but we need to pray for ourselves also. What should we pray for? That God would bless us as we do things in the world & with the world so that the world will see Christ in us. If we praise God we should have the trust of God. I had better have strong beliefs in Christ or my spiritual enemies will eat me up. My main goal is to live in heaven forever.
Matthew 22:1-14, 34-46 pg 1092
Marriage feast
I think the feast is the sinner that doesn’t come to Christ because we will not, not because we can’t. We make a joke of it & this is a careless thing to do, but we are ignorant. When in the world we just don’t get it & think that the world will protect us. We need to keep the world out of our hearts, so we stay close to Christ.
Those in the wedding cloths are the Christians that live by faith in Christ.
Remember we all have to answer to Christ for our life, all are called, but few answer the call. Then let us examine ourselves whether we are in the faith, and seek to be approved by the King.
V 34-46
Two Commandments
What do we want from Christ, his knowledge? YES! But that's not all.
1-The love of God is the greatest commandment. If we don’t have this love we might as well not come to church & just do, as we want. We need to be sincere from the gut & heart level.
2- To love our neighbor (others) as myself & have concern for all souls. Sometimes it means to sacrifice ourselves for the good of others. This can be real hard at time.
