RE: The Gospel of Matthew

in #reliquary6 years ago

Every time Jesus wanted to reach the hearts of his disciples, to refer revelations of kingdom, he used parabolas, in this passage Jesus reveals Israel's guilt by refusing the invitation to enter the kingdom, as a result, the nation lost the right to its privileges and will witness the destruction of Jerusalem.
the image of the wedding dress is used to show that faith and obedience to the will of God are important for the members of the new community who have responded to the invitation to participate in that holiday, Jesus uses this parable to invite all those who believe they are coming, but since the guests refused, Jesus did not consider them worthy, so I sent for all those who met on the way, for many are called, and few are chosen.
