Would you RSVP to Prince William and Princess Kate’s Wedding reception and then decide you had something better to do that day? HOW ABSURD! Today we look at the Parable of the Wedding Feast and the response of those who have not only been invited, but already RSVP’d that they would come and then refuse. This is a parable about two themes— The Heart of God and the Heart of Man. We see these two themes played out through the narrative of Invitation and Responses to that invitation. It is a parable about the final righteous judgment of the King and parallels the truth about our Lord. God loves us so much that he invites us into a deep beautiful relationship with Him to feast at his banquet and we get to choose to accept the invitation or not. Ultimately, God doesn’t “send” anyone to hell- every individual chooses for themselves whether or not to accept the invitation to the Lord’s table.
