Bible Note: Joe, I would agree with you that the analogy of the wheat and the tares is also helpful in this discussion and may be an even better comparison for the circumstances, but probably neither are perfect. But that is the difficulty with metaphors. And Ed raises the interesting difference between Matthew, in which the guest are invited and Luke 14:15 when the quested are compelled or made to come. But there is a difference in Luke. There no one is cast out. In Matthew it also says the good and the bad together were called in. But in Luke it is the poor, blind,crippled and lame; those who cannot fail to reconize their condition and the absolute necessity of a savior. Emmaus |
