1 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | Jesusman | 29193 | ||
Hello Ed, This is the parable of the Wedding feast, and one of my favorites. The parable begins with the calling of those who were initially invited to the feast. However, they would not come. When asked a second time, they revolted, killed the servants, and made the king angry. As a result, the king punished them by burning the city and their homes, and killing the murderers. After that, he sent the servents to the highways to invite guests and travellers. Now, It was customary in those days to give a travller time to prepare after coming from a journey. It was also customary to have the guest change into their wedding clothes in preparation. If they did not have the proper clothes, they would have been provided with some. Here was a man who was not properly dressed. This was a sign of disrespect to the king. All the man wanted was the food, but did not want to do his part to get it. As a result, the guest was evicted from the premisses. So, while he was brought in, he was no better than the ones who where initially invited, and he was punished Jesusman |
