Introduction
Review of last week:
Last week focused on consequences of obedience and disobedience.
Obey, faithful, given more.
Disobey, unfaithful, what you have is taken away.
This included following the rebel into hell.
Parable of Minas – faithful receive more, unfaithful lose what they had
– Chief Priests and elders challenge Jesus’ authority.
He tells the parable of the two sons, parable of the vineyard servants
Parable of Two Sons – sinner said no at first, then did the will of the Father, Israel yes but did not obey
Parable of Two Sons – sinner said no at first, then did the will of the Father, Israel yes but did not obey
Parable of the Vineyard Servants – tried to overthrow owner, keep fruit.
Taken away, given to faithful producers
Another look at and 22 parables:
Parable of Two Sons – Father rejected
Parable of the Vineyard Servants – Son rejected
Ch.22 Parable of the Wedding Banquet – Spirit rejected
Three-fold rejection by Israel of the Trinity.
Gain an eternal perspective – looking at the long view rather than just today or tomorrow.

v.2 Kingdom of Heaven is like…
King, Son – picture of the Father and Jesus celebrating the Kingdom
vv.3-4 invitation process, initial, second call to come.
vv.5-6 ignored, went about business,

reminder also of destruction of disobedient as they follow the devil
vv.8-9 invitation rejected, take privilege away from rebels, give to others.
v.10 Similar to – calling all others.
Good and bad.

Illustration of Football or Soccer player not suited up

Remember parable of net – all fish pulled in then separated

v.11 one man = representative of those not prepared
v.11 one man = representative of those not prepared
Not wearing wedding clothes – not suited up, not prepared for the King’s presence
v.12 Why? Man did not have an answer.
v.13 just like the other parables – separated out and destroyed, weeping, gnashing of teeth
What is proper wedding banquet attire?
What does it represent?
What makes us prepared for the King’s presence?
(just a of v14)
– Spirit of Christ
– Spirit of Christ
Clothed with – Spirit of Christ
The garment or dress is Jesus and His righteousness.
Invited Or Chosen?

Jesus gives His point, conclusion
Jesus gives His point, conclusion
Many are invited = God’s call is for all
Chosen = selected as one prepared.
Chosen = selected as one prepared.
Think of the story of Gideon – selection of troops by those who were prepared
This theme will come up again in our remaining parables.
Conclusion
Israel believed they were the chosen people but they rejected God’s invitation to the Kingdom.
They rejected the Father, the Son, and His Spirit.
God took the Kingdom from Israel as a nation and invited the world.
Only those who respond faithfully are chosen – those covered by the righteousness of Jesus Christ, by His blood for sin, by His Spirit in life, producing the fruit of righteousness.
Big Idea: God chooses those who respond faithfully to His invitation
God chooses those who respond faithfully to His invitation
What About You?
Are you dressed for the wedding banquet?
Have you put off the flesh - sin and selfishness
Have you put on the righteousness of Jesus?
Filled with His Spirit?
Repent - turn from your own way.
