Our paragraph topic is: (One guest is cast out) Part 4.
Our parable comes to an end with Christ telling the people the final meaning of this story. He wants the people to have some understanding of the kingdom of heaven. So he tells a parable that relates the kingdom of heaven to a king who exercises power over his people in his kingdom.
This king wants to give a party, a celebration, for his son and the bride on the union of their wedding. The king wanted all to attend and celebrate with him this happy and joyous occasion. He wanted the word to spread of this party for his son so that all would know of his graciousness and his love for his son and the union with his new bride.
Yet there were many who did not want to attend, many who did not want the word to get out about the party. He sent out invitations to all in the town and villages in his kingdom but none would come. So he sent his servants at to the crossroads and invited all the travelers who were passing through to stop and come to the party. Many were invited and many came both good and bad.
Many came from the crossroads to see the kings hospitality at this event. And as the party got underway the king came down to view the guest and to celebrate. As he walked through the crowd he saw one who came without the proper attire, one who decided to come anyway. He was displeased. So he had his servants bind his hands and feet and cast them out into the darkness where there was the weeping and gnashing of teeth. "For many are called, but few are chosen."
And this was the lesson that Christ wanted the people to hear from this parable. That all are called to the celebration of the kingdom but few are chosen to remain.

Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
