Matthew 22:1 says, And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,  Jesus was still speaking in parables, but His message should always be clear to those who believe in Him.  Verse two says, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,  Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to a king who made a marriage feast for his son.  We know how special many people feel if they are invited to the wedding of a famous person, especially to one of a king.  Verse three says, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.  Those invited to the wedding would not come.  God is the King, Jesus is the Son, and the nation of Israel are those invited to the wedding feast, or salvation through Christ.  Verse four states, Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.  The father sent his servants to those invited once again to tell them to come, because everything was prepared.  I believe these servants would be the prophets who had pointed the nation of Israel to Christ.  We, as gentiles, might not have been invited at first, but we were never excluded if we come to Jesus by faith.  This applies even to those who came to God even before Jesus came.  No one has ever been excluded from God's kingdom by the nature of their birth.  Verse five declares, But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:  Those invited, which were the nation of Israel, made light of the invitation. The religious leaders of God's chosen people especially made light of the coming of Jesus, the Messiah.  They refused to come to Him in faith.  Verse six states,.  And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.  I believe the servants were those who proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah and were mistreated by the religious leaders of that day, but also applies to those who have been mistreated for their faith in Christ since His coming.  Verse seven says, But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.  This is a reference to the coming judgment of Christ.  Those who do accept Christ, and especially those who attempt to destroy those who proclaim the gospel, will lose everything at the day of judgment.  Verse eight states, Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.  The king will pronounce those who had been invited to be unworthy, even though the wedding was ready.  This is a reference to the people of Israel, who were to be God's people.  They were the first invited to salvation through Christ, but they rejected the call.  Belonging to God in name only is never enough.  If we reject Christ, we are unworthy to be a part of God's kingdom.  Verse nine says, Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.  This is where the gospel is sent to the Gentiles, those who were not a part of the nation of Israel.  We must remember that the nation of Israel was always supposed to reach out to others with God's word, but they failed to do so.  Verse ten says, So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.  All that the servants found, both good and bad, were invited to the wedding feast.  We are not invited to come to Christ because of our own righteous, but all are invited to come as we are.  We can never be good enough to demand salvation, nor can we be bad enough to be denied salvation.  Verse eleven declares, And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:  I believe that this is a reference to those who attempt to enter into God's kingdom without accepting Christ as Savior and Lord.  There will be no entry without being clothed in Christ's salvation.  In verse twelve the King asks, And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.  When we are one day asked how we thought we could get into God's kingdom without accepting Christ, then we will likewise be speechless.  Verse thirteen continues, Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  When we attempt to gain entry into the kingdom of God without accepting Christ as Savior and Lord of our lives, this will be our fate.  We will be eternally separated from God.  Verse fourteen declares, For many are called, but few are chosen.  Everyone in the world is called to salvation, but only those who accept Christ for Who He is, the Savior of the world, will be chosen.  This does not mean that certain people will not be able to be saved by the fact of their birth, but that none will be saved who are not born again through Christ.
