In Matthew chapters 21–28, Jesus speaks of the wedding garment for entering the king’s wedding feast and of the faith needed to welcome the Lord when He comes again.
The king called both the good and the bad to the feast, but the man who was not wearing a wedding garment was cast out. The wedding garment for entering the kingdom of heaven is the righteousness that Jesus has fulfilled. Through the baptism He received from John, Jesus had all the sins of the world transferred to Him once and for all, and in order to receive the judgment for those sins in our place, He shed His blood and died on the Cross, and He rose again from death. A person who has received the remission of sins by believing in this gospel of the water and the Spirit is a person who has put on the robe of righteousness. What we need to prepare as we wait for the Lord is also this very faith. Jesus, who saved us from sin, will come again and welcome us into His kingdom.
