When we consider our response to God's invitation and the calling of others to respond, some important factors must be considered as to the nature of the invitation and the results of declining such. Presented inthe form of a parable of a wedding banquet, in Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus discusses the Kingdom of Heaven and presents: 1) The Invitation Rejected (Matthew 22:1–6), 2) The Rejecters Punished (Matthew 22:7–8), 3) TheNew Guest Invited (Matthew 22:9–10) 4) The Intruder Expelled (Matthew 22:11–14)
