In the passage in [[Matthew]], [[Jesus]] is telling a story about a king who is planning a wedding for his son. The king sends out his servants to invite the people that the king wants at the wedding. For the sake of this [[parable]], the people refuse the kings invitation. Some make fun of the invitation, and others get extreme and kill the servants that the king sent out. Outraged, the king sends his armies to destroy the murderers and their cities. However, the king still wants people to attend his son’s wedding. So he sends his servants out once more, and this time tells his servants to invite anyone and everyone. On the day of the wedding, the king sees one man who is not properly dressed. This angers the king, so he asks the man why he isn't dressed in wedding attire. The man is speechless. The king has the man thrown in a jail that is very dark and unpleasant. |
