How plainly the picture is drawn in the word of God of His dealing with the man who accepted His invitation to the wedding, but who did not put on the wedding garment which had been purchased for him, the robe of Christ’s righteousness! He thought his own defiled garments good enough to come into the presence of Christ, but he was cast out as one who had insulted his Lord and abused His gracious benevolence. {5T 509.3}

Hvor tydeligt er billet ikke trukket op i Guds ord, om hans behandling af det menneske, som har modtaget indbydelsen til brylluppet, men som ikke tog den bryllupsklædning på, der var blevet købt til ham: Kristi retfærdigheds klædning! Han mente at hans egne snavsede klæder var gode nok til at være i nærheden af Kristus, men han blev kastet ud som en, der havde forhånet sin Herre og misbrugt hans nådige godgørenhed.
