How does this parable relate to God's sovereignty?

Answered in 1 source

The parable illustrates God's sovereignty in both inviting sinners and choosing who will respond.

The parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 showcases God's sovereignty in the realm of salvation. God, depicted as the king, initiates the invitation to the wedding banquet, signifying His active role in calling sinners to Himself. However, it also illustrates that many will refuse this invitation, underlining the fallen nature of humanity. Ultimately, God's sovereignty is further highlighted in the fact that, though many are called, only the chosen will come and be robed in righteousness. This reinforces the Reformed perspective of God's sovereign grace—He not only makes salvation available but ensures that His chosen ones inevitably respond in faith.
