Back in those times the groom provided the wedding guests wedding clothes. They were free, a gift from the groom. Those that chose not to take that gift were not allowed into the wedding feast.

It is a parable of how some will not accept the "wedding garments" that the Messiah has freely given us and therefore will not be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Amazming how much of the New Testament makes more sense when you know Jewish traditions.

Mat 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Mat 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen

I believe the wedding garment here refers to our robe of righteousness. We have the robe of righteousness ie God's righteousness in us when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. In Matt 22:13 this person without wedding garment will be cast into outer darkess; where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth which I believe is reserved for sinners. So those who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior will not be qualified to attend the wedding banquet.

Matt. 22:1-14
It was a parabal from Jesus explaining that there would be many invited, but few chosen. In reference to being a sharer in the everlasting life on earth to come, Jesus promised these things. Have you excepted the invitation,
Romans 12:1,2 Consequently I entreat YOU by the compassions of God, brothers, to present YOUR bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with YOUR power of reason. 2 And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Insult someone by telling them that their best finery isn't good enough for you or your snobbish wedding party, and expect them to apologize for wearing their best garments. Just like the evil christian religion to punish the innocent for Christianities lack of understanding or true love for the diversity of life.

This parable isn't in isolation. First examine the last of financial disaster 22: 40 two Jesus mentioned to them: “Did YOU by no ability examine in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected is the only that has grow to be the supervisor cornerstone. From Jehovah this has become, and that's superb in our eyes’? 40 3 for this reason I say to YOU, the dominion of God would be taken from YOU and settle for to a united states of america generating its culmination. 40 4 additionally, the guy falling upon this stone would be shattered. As for anyone upon whom it falls, it is going to pulverize him.” 40 5 Now whilst the supervisor monks and the Pharisees had heard his illustrations, they took word that he became talking approximately them. 40 six yet, inspite of the undeniable fact that they've been seeking to snatch him, they feared the crowds, because of the fact those held him to be a prophet. So, this financial disaster maintains with the marriage. Jesus became exhibiting that God had arranged the marriage of his son and that the Jews who had the 1st invitation, rejected their king's grant. or maybe in the tip, some might take action to kill those despatched to ask them. considering that this became 3 days till now Christ became murdered, and that for the subsequent 3 years or so, the Jewish Christians proceed inviting in basic terms fellow Jews to share in the marriage occasion and that they replied via killing the Christians, (Stephen being the 1st), God began to ask those out element, ones passing via, the gentiles, whilst he despatched Peter to Cornelius. Later in 70 C.E. the Romans performed the execution of the Jews that confounded the marriage invitation. And as to the only that got here to the occasion yet became no longer wearing the particular wedding ceremony garment, presented via the king, confirmed that he had rejected that distinctive garment. He became a foul centred visitor, unworthy of being area of the marriage. because of the fact those invited might grow to be a area of the "Bride of Christ", then the undesirable centred visitor may be people who falsely declare to be in a definite dating to Christ. they do no longer positioned on the clothing, which in accordance to Paul, may be the "new character" based on the classes of Christ.

That makes sense. Then they refuse the clothing Christ gives (which we've all seen people do) then they are denied.
