THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING FEAST (Matt 22:1-14)

THOSE WHO WOULD NOT COME (v1-7)

  • All is ready.
  • Rejection of the invitation is rejection of the King
  • Will you reject this invitation?

THOSE WHO CAME (v8-10)

  • The invitation goes out to ALL
  • The gospel is an invitation to something incredible, knowing God.
  • “The greatest treasure of grace is God Himself” (Max Lucado)
  • Will you accept the invitation?

 

THOSE WHO COULD NOT COME (v11-14)

  • The wedding garment v11-12: Zech 3:3-5, Isaiah 61:10, Rev 19:6-8
  • The only entry requirement of heaven is true acceptance of the gospel.
  • Jesus gives a clear warning! DANGER!
  • Entry is by faith alone.
