Wedding GuestsMatthew 22: 2-14 The Kingdom of Heaven may be compared, A king for his son's wedding feast declared; He sent his servants out for those invited, But no one came, he was very undelighted; The king sent his servants out once again, To tell the invited that we have champagne; And that the dinner is completely prepared, With food and entertainment to be shared; So off they went to his business and farm, But treated shameful and also caused harm; The king was angry as his troops were sent, For killing his servants a malicious intent; Their orders were for to search and destroy, He said, "Just unworthy even as a busboy; Invite all you meet for the wedding feast." Inviting all going north, south, west, east; Both good and bad showed up as new guests But one man's garbs the king really detests; The king had him cast out into the frozen, For many are called upon but few are chosen.
