The doors of the kingdom community, of living in the
Body of Christ, are thrown wide open, and the invitation extends to all.
But once you come in, there are standards. You can
never act like you are not exquisitely blessed by being part of such an
extraordinary celebration.
The problem with church goers is not so much that we
do not take the work of God seriously! No,
our biggest sin is a failure to celebrate the privilege of being included
in this wedding feast of the Lamb of God.
Living in the kingdom of heaven is like being invited
to an extraordinary banquet. But simply accepting the invitation is not enough.
When the kingdom music is playing, it is time to start
singing! To start celebrating!
When we find our undeserving selves to be God’s
guests, celebrating God’s Son, the least we can do is to show joy,
participation, praise, thanksgiving, excitement, faithfulness, love!
God’s invitation is to a feast! The person who does not come in to celebrate the Son
accordingly, in other words festively,
declines and spurns the invitation no less than those who are unwilling to
appear at the banquet at all.
