heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both

men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; the master of that slave will
come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour he does not know, and

will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. And that slave
who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, shall

receive many lashes, but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy
of a flogging, will receive but few. And from everyone who has been given much shall

We see from this parable that there are servants in God’s house that are wicked or evil,

as well as those who are faithful. These are both members of God’s house, the church.
Likewise, those brought into the wedding feast are all from God’s house. Some, however,

are not as worthy as others.
Returning to the wedding feast, we see that the wedding hall has been filled. It has

Revelation 3:4-5

“But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they
will walk with Me in white; for they are worthy.He who overcomes shall thus be
clothed in white garments.”

As indicated in the preceding scripture, the garment indicates worthiness. To not have

unprepared guest could actually be expressed in this way, “How did you come to be here at
the wedding feast of my son, seeing that you are unworthy to be here?” The guest is

speechless. There is no defense for his lack of preparation. He is hastily removed from the
wedding feast.

Surprisingly, at the end of Christ’s parable, we are told that what happened to this
man is not a rare occurrence. To the contrary, we are told, “For many are called, but few
