Q. Matt. 22 F. R. asks, what is “the wedding-garment,” and who the “friend” is, who is consigned to outer darkness?
A. By the use of the garment is meant putting on Christ, Had the man put on Christ, he would have had everything: Christ of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The same thing is true practically. (Comp. Rom. 13:1414But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Romans 13:14); Gal. 3:2727For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:27); Eph. 4:2424And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24), &c.) If Judas, the son of perdition, could be styled “friend,” (in the sense of “companion,” and not of a link formed by real love,) this man might be called no less.
