| Summary: | The article focuses on a parable written in the Gospel of Matthew, in which a king threw a wedding banquet for his son and no one showed up. It notes that the Bible draws on pictures of banquets to portray human life lived in the presence of God, the sovereign, the host, whose kingdom is the marriage feast to his son, Jesus Christ, and the people are his beloved. It cites that the parable is really about judgement and redemption. It states that parable is about judgement because God loves His people fiercely enough to batter their hearts with truth. |
