“Few are Chosen”
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Many are called, but few are chosen. Why? That’s what we want to know. Why are few chosen? If the Lord wants all people to be saved, as He tells us in His Word, and if Jesus died for the sins of the whole world then why are only a few chosen? That’s exactly why Jesus tells this parable. So that everyone will hear these warnings. He truly does want all people to be saved. He’s not kidding or playing games with us. He wants everyone and He calls everyone. But so many reject the invitation. So Jesus tells this parable of the wedding banquet so that we and all people will be warned of the danger and will not miss out on the wedding reception.
