Study Questions

1.         Identify the three responses of the first invited guests to the wedding banquet. What do these responses reveal about the human heart’s tendency to ignore or resist God’s gracious call? 

2.         Why does Jesus emphasize that the second guest list includes both “bad and good,” and what does this teach us about the nature of the gospel invitation?

3.         What does the man without the wedding garment represent, and how does this challenge the idea that mere religious involvement is enough?

4.         How does the wedding garment—Christ’s righteousness—shape the way we understand true belonging in the kingdom of God?

5.         In what ways does the closing statement, “Many are called but few are chosen,” invite us to examine whether we have truly come to God on his terms rather than our own?

6.         What action is God’s Word calling you to in light of this parable?
