Bible Note: Greetings Scribe! Excellent comments my friend! The saying of Mt. 22:14 is a bit confusing, but the meaning of the entire parable is quite clear. God has extended His grace because of the rejection of the Jewish nation. In other words, the meaning is much the same as Rom. 9-11. So, whatever Mt. 22:14 means, it must have to do with this extension of God's grace, not a restriction of it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
