We all fall short, stumble and sin. The difference for the Believer is how you deal with your sin. Are you like Peter, who, at his lowest point turns to Christ in repentance?

One of these paths leads to forgiveness and the other to brokenness, guilt and ultimately self punishment.

1) Judgement (v.1-7)
God is sovereign and is at work in the World.
God offers and invitation to Israel and they reject it.
In His grace and loving kindness God appeals to Israel a second time and is rejected again.
2) Gospel (v.8-10)
Worthy - God's love overcomes our unworthiness. Israel was deemed unworthy because they rejected God's love and invitation.
So the Gospel call goes out and God extends His invitation to the World.
3) Warning (v.11-14)
Some will find themselves in the presents of the King and be found faithless. They will have associated with the Bride of Christ, but had not put on the wedding garment.
When that day comes for you, will you be found robed in the righteousness of Christ?
