THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING FEAST (Matt 22:1-14)

THOSE WHO WOULD NOT COME (v1-7)

• All is ready.

• Rejection of the invitation is rejection of the King

• Will you reject this invitation?

THOSE WHO CAME (v8-10)

• The invitation goes out to ALL

• The gospel is an invitation to something incredible, knowing God.

• “The greatest treasure of grace is God Himself” (Max Lucado)

• Will you accept the invitation?

THOSE WHO COULD NOT COME (v11-14)

• The wedding garment v11-12: Zech 3:3-5, Isaiah 61:10, Rev 19:6-8

• The only entry requirement of heaven is true acceptance of the gospel.

• Jesus gives a clear warning! DANGER!

• Entry is by faith alone.
