Many are Called, but Few are Chosen

H ow awful it would be to receive a summons to the wedding feast of a great king’s son,
only to be singled out upon arrival for not being appropriately dressed. To have the

attention of all upon you in such a situation would be embarrassing beyond measure.
However, to then be seized as a trespasser, bound hand and foot, and cast out of this elect

gathering would be devastating. It would truly be a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This is a situation that we would all like to avoid. However, if I am correct, it will be

the fate of a large portion of the church. The following passage gives us an indication of the
fate that awaits many.

Matthew 22:1-14

And Yahshua answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying, "The kingdom
of heaven may be compared to a king, who gave a wedding feast for his son. And he

sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they
were unwilling to come. Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have

been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened
livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."' But

they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his
business, and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them. But the

king was enraged and sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and set their
city on fire. Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were

invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find
there, invite to the wedding feast.' And those slaves went out into the streets, and

gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled
with dinner guests. But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw

there a man not dressed in wedding clothes, and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you
come in here without wedding clothes?' And he was speechless. Then the king said

to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; in
that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few

are chosen."
