you must R.S.V.P. In the parable, Jesus said about those invited, “But they paid no attention and went off…” (v. 5). The height of ingratitude! A king’s invitation should not fall on deaf ears. When God invites, it demands proper response. After all, the invitation also brings obligation. “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30).
Weylan draws great lessons from the parable of the king who throws a wedding feast for his son, in Matt. 22. God's invitation differs from the one we extend, to "drop in sometime." It has a time, place, and address, because full preparations have been made. Don't stand him up!
