Worship into the Week- Matthew 22:1-14
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
The story points back to a theme of "being worthy."
There is also an urgency here about
the sharing of the invitation and the need to respond.
Jesus is always trying to help his disciples
understand a bit more about the Kingdom of Heaven.
Parables help with making that a bit more clear.
Jesus is still speaking in the temple here
and enters into debate successively with the Pharisees,
who are aligned with the Herodians,
the Sadduccees and a lawyer.
He dominates and silences them all.
The Jews are outraged that Jesus continues
to open the door of those- CHOSEN-
to more than the Jews.
This section finishes with this reminder passage,
"For many are called, but few are chosen."
As Jesus speaks to the Jewish authorities, he
wanted them to recognize that He was their Messiah
and not miss out
on the blessings of the Kingdom.
We all must not miss out on the invitation.
