Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen

The wedding is between the bride and groom. Their will not be any spectators at the wedding. In the Jewish customs the bride and groom were alone in a tent when the union took place. They were in an intimate and private place. This was a very special time and it was not meant for anyone except the bride and her groom. The public was not invited to the wedding. Not even the mother and father of the bride or groom was invited to this sacred and holy place of union."Many are called but few are chosen." Matt22:14 The called are the Church as a whole but the chosen are the ones that made themselves ready! Rev 19:7-9 Notice who the called are. They are called unto the "marriage supper" not the wedding in the above Scripture.

I. Called - klay-tos' - invited, that is, appointed, or (specifically) a saint: - called.

II. Chosen - ek-lek-tos' - select; by implication favorite: - chosen, elect chosen out of.
