00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640
Jesus tells the parable in Matthew 22 and in verse 8 he says this in that parable.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,440
Then he said to his slaves, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,720
worthy.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,840
In this parable, not worthy seems to be about making excuses, about not coming when it's

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,840
ready.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,120
He prepared the feast and they declined to attend.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,840
If you have an excuse, you can be excused, but it will mean you are not going to make

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,840
it in.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,840
Ultimately, there will be no more room even for repentance because he said, we prepared

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,080
the feast, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy and that's

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,080
because they made excuses.

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:45,920
So I would say today, start thinking of yourself and say, hey, am I making excuses to not do

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,480
the things that God would have me to do?

14
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,000
Have I listened to the persuasions of the world to get me to do things that the world

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,840
wants me to do instead of what God wants me to do?

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,440
Maybe turn the TV off and spend some time in the Word of God or get on right now media,

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,680
which you can get a free subscription through the live station, get on right now media and

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,680
listen to Bible studies, watch God-friendly family entertainment with your children if

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,560
you have them, or even for yourself.

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,160
I like a lot of kids shows that are godly.

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,640
So no more excuses, let's be found worthy.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,840
God bless you today.

00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,800
