Matt 22:12 And he  said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

I have always wondered why the King singled this person out.  I had always felt that none of the others at the banquet would have been rich enough for wedding garment so why was this person singled out.

Expositor’s Greek testament commentary – How did you come in without a garment?  Supposes the question is,  “By what way did you come in”, meaning how did you get in here without proper clothing, making the assumption that it was supplied to all who came in.  Did this man try to sneak in, trying to make it into heaven without putting on the righteous of Christ?  No one will be able to sneak into heaven. No one can sneak by God.  He sees all. He loves us each individually. Perhaps it also alludes to the fact that he was “attached” or clung to his old clothes the way that Lot’s wife clung to Sodom and Gomorrah, trying to keep hold of the old while trying to reach the new.  Perhaps, he was similar to the rich man who asked Christ, how do I get to heaven and Christ replied to sell all you have and the man went away sad because he was very rich.  You cannot hold on to both this world and Christ.  You must throw off the old and cling to the new.  You must become a new creature in Christ.  You must take a step further.
