Our personal situations are not as personal as we think. We need to see them with a bigger lens. If we are going to stay in love with God the way we see the world needs to be with a spiritual lens. These commandments may be done with physical strength, but it is your spirit that agrees. The first commandment is to love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. I know that bringing up the commandments does not seem like the right direction to go in but knowing the Lord who is able to keep your heart and mind is first. Being in love with Him causes you to love your neighbor it causes you to love the world like Christ. Be imitators of God and walk in love. Scripture Ephesians 5:1-5, John 17:3, James 4:6-7 John3:16-17, Luke 14:10-14
Episode Notes
1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes. 12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’
13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
