Another parable of warning; of warning, but of great comfort too. A wedding feast is prepared. Good food and good drink for all to come and enjoy. You would think that the invitation would be enough, that we wouldn’t have to be reminded. But the self-righteous sinner doesn’t care all that much for a wedding feast in which things are given out for free. The self-righteous sinner always has something better to fill his time. So the master sends out his servant to the highways and byways. “Go and invite everyone you see. Go and get the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame. Go and invite everyone who should be here, everyone who doesn’t deserve such a feast. For my house must be filled to the brim.”
