You Have Been Invited

“You Have Been Invited” (Matthew 22:1-14)                        
Dr. W. Jamie Kim

 I. The Parable Explained

 II. The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like:
A Banquet for a king (extravagance)
The King sent out a personal invitation (privilege)
The King sent out a second invitation (kindness)

 III. Responses:
Outright Refusal
No interest
Hostility

 IV. New Plan
Invite anyone
Many responded
Some weren’t ready

 V. Practical Application
Many are invited, but few are chosen
Some will be left speechless. Don’t look for an excuse.
There will be a Day of Judgment. Be ready!
