By: Dr. Eigbadon Gregory E. – Galilee Foundation

The Commission

Mt. 22:1-10 Parable of the King that prepared a banquet for the son’s wedding.

• The “who is who” in the society were invited to the wedding banquet.
• They all turned down the invitation with excuses.
• Some even went as far as killing some of the servants sent to them.

The King’s Reaction:

• He sent armies to destroy those wicked people.
• He sent his servants to the highways (fringes/street) to gather as many as they can find both “good” and “bad” to the wedding.
