Matthew 22:1-14, The Wedding with the relunctant guests

Send us Fan MailThe Gospel, Matthew 22:1-14 is the parable of a king inviting people to his son’s wedding.  The story serves as a metaphor for what Heaven is like.  The message is quite radical.  We have a king whose invited guests refuse to come.  It is abundantly clear the king’s invitation is not a priority in their lives.  Everything else is more important.  I The King’s response, however, is surprising; he instructs his servants to go out and invite anyone they can find.  This parable is presented to us as a metaphor about Heaven but actually, the story says more about who God is.  This King – God shamelessly pursues the guests.  Complete our 1 Minute Survey
