<p>22:11&nbsp;<em>But when the king entered to see the guests</em>- The same words used about the Lord's 'coming in' to Jerusalem and looking around the temple, in His parody of a triumphant entry (21:10,12). This was the immediate context of this parable, and the point was that He had come to judge Israel and found them unworthy.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><em>He saw there</em>- We are set up by the story line to expect that the King will question &quot;the bad&quot; out of the &quot;both bad and good&quot; which have been gathered. But instead He focuses upon the lack of a wedding garment. Banquets functioned on the basis of the guests arriving, accompanied by a servant, who then gave them a wedding garment, which they wore. This man obviously thought that his clothes were good enough, and he didn't need the wedding garment offered. This man would likely have been in what appeared to be &quot;the good&quot; category, the type who was well dressed and apparently appropriate for invitation to a King's banquet. It was exactly those types who will be ultimately rejected from the Kingdom banquet, because self righteousness, a refusal to be clothed in the white garment of imputed righteousness, is far worse than being an immoral street person.&nbsp;</p><p><em>A man who was not wearing a wedding-garment</em>- Literally 'not clothed with the wedding clothing'. We are to 'put on' s.w. Christ; and &quot;as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have&nbsp;<em>put on</em>&nbsp;Christ&quot; (Gal. 3:27). But baptism only 'works' if we believe in what it represents- our clothing with His righteousness by the imputation of righteousness to us. Clearly enough, before the coming of the King, those without a wedding garment obtained through faith and baptism are sitting in the same place as those who have one. They sit at the same table- the division is only made by the Lord&rsquo;s coming.</p>
