Matthew 22:14 KJV
For many are called, but few are chosen.
In the parable, everyone was called: farmers, merchantmen, citizens, those in the highways and hedges. No one was excluded from a call. But some were not at the wedding and in every case, it was there own choice.
• The farmer put the interests of his land above the wedding and so was not chosen.
• The merchantmen put the interest of business above the wedding and so was not chosen
• The remnant put their interest in riotous living and so we're not chosen and
• The one had no interest in the wedding (and would not change his garments for it) and so was not chosen.
All are called to salvation but only those who give up themselves for the Saviour find salvation. It is freely offered and no one is excluded from the call, but that should not be interpreted as meaning it is of little worth and lacking standard. God invites all to come to salvation. But those who come must see that God's expectations are high.
