The parable of the Great Supper is about the incarnation, and is read two Sundays before Nativity. Near the end of the parable, the master of the house, that is, God, tells His servants to: “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” This word “compel” is a compelling and even controversial word. The epistle helps explain what this word means. Everything in Christianity is lived in the heart.
