Answered in 1 source
Matthew 22 presents a parable of a king inviting guests to his son's wedding, illustrating God's call to come to Christ.
In Matthew 22, Jesus tells a parable about a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son and sent servants to invite those who had been called. However, those invited made light of the invitation and chose to ignore it. The parable underscores the importance of responding to God's call in the gospel, emphasizing that just being invited is not sufficient. Instead, it illustrates the nature of divine grace and the necessity of a true response to God’s invitation to salvation. The king’s anger at the rejection also highlights the seriousness of one’s response to God’s offer of grace through Christ.
