Parable of the Wedding Banquet

[Ya know]

Hey guys, what do you think this parable means?

22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

 

The banquet (kingdom of heaven - present moment - being offered to all) and the man without wedding clothes (attention to detail, honoring the lord - respect for his graciousness) will be cast out into the weeping of gnashing teeth (misery, self inflicted suffering due to absence of mind)

 

Any other opinions appreciated

The invitation is the now - the chosen... is either an act of grace or a chosen karmic inheritance to surrender your ego and replace with consciousness? The field - awareness

The feast is here, and everyone is invited. The ego is hungry for something better, which is not actually better, but it wants to feel superior, and so it leaves the table. The feast is already abundant and delicious. Fools look for food where there is none, failing to see the feast that is already here now.
