His well-to-do friends refuse to attend, begging off with all sorts of excuses, so the man sends his servants out into the highway to invite beggars to his feast.
The story does have another chapter, however. The servants are told to offer each beggar a clean wedding garment, so they will feel and look respectable at his feast.
But one guy, wanting to show his spite, told them where they could shove their clean white robe. "They told me to come as I am," he shouted, "and now they can take me just as I am, or throw me out!"
So, they threw him out.
You will find this story in Matthew 22:2-14.
My question-
What do you think the Lord was trying to teach with this parable?
