Parable of the Wedding Banquet
Jesus tells a story about a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son and sent out invitations to many guests. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to call those invited to come, but they refused to come, making excuses and mistreating the king's servants. In response, the king commissioned his servants to invite anyone they could find, good and bad, to fill the banquet hall.
When the king came in to see the guests, he noticed one man not wearing wedding clothes. When asked why he was not appropriately dressed, the man was speechless. The king then had him bound and thrown outside into the darkness, where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth.
What is the significance of the man who was not wearing wedding clothes?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
