Matthew 22:11-14 ESV
“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The tribes of Israel were chosen as a people to be the people of God. They have a role in serving God, but not as the bride.
The Bride of Christ is chosen one person at a time. There is but one wedding and one bride. The Bride is taking shape even now. We can elect to be a part of the body of Christ, or choose someone else.
Many are called, but few will answer. Those who do will be chosen.
Our wedding garments will be the righteousness of Christ. We don these when we put on Christ. He will have no trouble recognizing Himself in us.
