DRESS FOR THE PARTY: PREPARE

Preparation is also the putting on of the right garments(Mat 22:12,14.) While many are called, only those that take a step of conforming to the dress code befitting the call in this parable get to enter the rest. The rest are cast out(Mat 22:13). Here the garments are referred to as the wedding clothes and those appropriately dressed are referred to as the chosen. Garments are similar to the works of men, the light that shines to all men, befitting the call of God(John 3:20-21). This is similar to the requirement of washing of baptism and cleansing of fire.
