Scripture

“For many are called but few are chosen.”

Observation
The kingdom of heaven is like a wedding feast prepared for the son of a king. The people who were invited refuse to attend.

The king sends servants to tell the invitees that the feast is ready, but they ignore them, some even killing the messengers.

The king then sends his army to kill the murderers and then sends his servant out to bring in people from the streets, all they can find.

One of the guests refuses to wear proper clothes, and is cast out to the outer darkness.

Application
God is determined to have a party for His Son.

The people who were first invited failed to recognise that Jesus is the Son and so God invited the whole world in to celebrate with Him.

Some refuse the call. Some even kill the messengers, but the party continues with all who will feast with the King.

Prayer
Lord, today I say “Yes” to your invitation. I say “Yes” to your Son. Amen.
