Matthew 22.9 - Call the Chosen or Confirm you’re Not!

Matthew 22.9 - Call the Chosen or Confirm you’re Not!

“Go…and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find” (Matthew 22.9). As I read this parable I too often seem more like the invited guest who blows off the King, than the zealous servant who fills the wedding hall. James Boice asks, “Is it possible that the King of the universe could ever be dishonored by having no one at the wedding supper of his Son? That no one would be saved?...Can Jesus have died in vain?...To ask questions such as these is to show the impossibility of such an outcome. God must be honored. Jesus must be effective in his work” The chosen will be called, no question. Yet, the personal question is, “Will you and I be calling the lost or crying because we are? Will we work to fill the wedding hall, or forfeit our place in it?”
