Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen: The Parable That Made Me Examine My Faith

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, I share a surprising moment that happened while reading my Bible. After opening to Matthew 22 and reading Jesus' Parable of the Wedding Feast, one verse stopped me in my tracks: "Many are called, but few are chosen." As we unpack the parable together, we explore what the wedding feast represents, why some rejected the invitation, and what it means that one guest was thrown out for not wearing the proper wedding garments. Most importantly, the passage led me to ask a difficult question: Am I truly trusting God, or am I just saying that I trust God? We discuss the difference between outward religion and genuine faith, the warning found in Matthew 7, and why this parable isn't about having a bad day or struggling with fear. It's about whether we're coming to God on our terms or His. If you've ever wrestled with doubts, wondered what Jesus meant by "many are called, but few are chosen," or found yourself examining your own faith, this conversation is for you. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14
