“Truth Must Reign in the Church: Parable of the Wedding Feast”

Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What is a parable? The word "parable" comes from the Greek word "parabolē," which means "comparison" or "illustration." More specifically, a comparison of earthly with heavenly things. The parables told by Jesus are earthly stories with heavenly meanings.

Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Point To Ponder #1: We cannot take part in the Kingdom of God on our own terms. We must be willing to surrender, repent, and change in humble obedience to God.

‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Point to Ponder #2: Do not seek satisfaction from earthly food that spoils. Seek it in the food (God’s Word of Truth) that endures to eternal life.

“What Must I DO to Inherit Eternal Life?”

Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬-‭31‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Points To Ponder No. 1:

No amount of wealth or success can satisfy your soul like Jesus can.

Points To Ponder No. 2:

Good is a subjective term influenced by a person’s values. I believe Jesus’ point is the only standard of good that matters is what God calls good.

Points To Ponder No. 3:

Eternal life cannot be earned through self effort. It is a gift from God freely given by grace through faith.

He went away sad because he had great possessions. In other words, he treasured his wealth more than his relationship with God.

Points To Ponder No. 4:

Jesus loved him and wanted him to have the eternal life he desired. So he told him how to attain it.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Points To Ponder No. 5:

Jesus loved him and wanted him to have the eternal life he desired. But the rich young ruler rejected the gift of eternal life because he refused to let go of his first love (earthly treasure) to obtain it.

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬
