The Parables of Jesus During His ministry Jesus spoke of a “wedding feast” … a great banquet, hosted by God!! In His parables He spoke of invitations being given to many who then made excuses why they could not (or would not) come to the feast. In Matthew 22, Jesus uses this illustration to refer to the celebration of the coming of God’s…
