PARABLE 12 OF 22
The Wedding Banquet
Mattityahu 22:1–14
PARABLE · TO THE LEADERS
A king's invited guests refuse the wedding feast; he sends servants to bring in everyone from the streets — but one comes without a wedding garment.
The first invitation went to those who claimed the table by birthright, and they declined. The Father then opens the doors to anyone who will come. But there is a garment — a wedding garment — that He provides and expects worn. Many are called, few are chosen: the choosing is real, and so is the garment.
