00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.899
And<00:00:45.259><c> they're</c><00:00:45.380><c> very,</c><00:00:45.619><c> very</c><00:00:45.899><c> similar,</c><00:00:46.759><c> except</c><00:00:47.539><c> the</c><00:00:48.759><c> parable</c><00:00:49.280><c> here</c><00:00:49.579><c> in</c>

Luke<00:00:50.280><c> comes</c><00:00:50.659><c> somewhat</c><00:00:51.020><c> earlier</c><00:00:51.460><c> in</c><00:00:51.579><c> his</c><00:00:51.920><c> ministry</c>

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.820

00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:00.280
and<00:00:57.320><c> his</c><00:00:57.659><c> work</c><00:00:58.119><c> was</c><00:00:58.859><c> not</c><00:00:59.240><c> quite</c><00:00:59.539><c> as</c><00:00:59.820><c> pronounced</c>

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.759

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.579
we'll<00:01:04.700><c> look</c><00:01:04.959><c> at</c><00:01:05.040><c> it</c><00:01:05.219><c> later</c><00:01:05.400><c> in</c><00:01:05.500><c> Matthew</c><00:01:05.819><c> 22,</c>

00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:09.640
which<00:01:07.000><c> is</c><00:01:07.599><c> obviously</c><00:01:08.060><c> right</c><00:01:08.280><c> at</c><00:01:08.459><c> the</c><00:01:08.640><c> end</c><00:01:08.780><c> of</c><00:01:08.939><c> his</c><00:01:09.180><c> ministry</c>

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.079
when<00:01:10.379><c> the</c><00:01:10.799><c> opposition</c><00:01:11.599><c> of</c><00:01:12.200><c> the</c><00:01:12.420><c> leaders</c><00:01:12.659><c> had</c><00:01:13.000><c> come</c><00:01:13.280><c> to</c><00:01:13.680><c> full.</c>

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:20.939
And<00:01:14.599><c> he</c><00:01:14.719><c> was</c><00:01:14.980><c> feeling</c><00:01:15.280><c> sort</c><00:01:15.500><c> of</c><00:01:15.620><c> the</c><00:01:15.819><c> full</c><00:01:16.180><c> fury</c><00:01:16.640><c> of</c><00:01:17.359><c> their</c><00:01:18.519><c> treatment</c><00:01:19.900><c> of</c><00:01:20.140><c> himself.</c>

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:24.120
And<00:01:21.739><c> so</c><00:01:21.959><c> you've</c><00:01:22.159><c> got</c><00:01:22.340><c> to</c><00:01:22.560><c> keep</c><00:01:22.659><c> that</c><00:01:23.040><c> difference</c><00:01:23.439><c> in</c><00:01:23.739><c> mind,</c>

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:26.680
because<00:01:24.560><c> Jesus</c><00:01:25.120><c> crafts</c><00:01:25.599><c> his</c><00:01:26.040><c> parables</c>

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.980
with<00:01:27.379><c> respect</c><00:01:28.000><c> to</c><00:01:28.200><c> the</c><00:01:28.459><c> people</c><00:01:28.719><c> that</c><00:01:28.859><c> he's</c><00:01:29.140><c> talking</c><00:01:29.519><c> to</c><00:01:29.840><c> and</c>

00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:31.900

00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:37.019
So<00:01:32.500><c> in</c><00:01:32.819><c> Luke,</c><00:01:33.060><c> as</c><00:01:33.200><c> you're</c><00:01:33.379><c> going</c><00:01:33.519><c> to</c><00:01:33.879><c> discover,</c><00:01:35.500><c> the</c><00:01:35.900><c> sense</c><00:01:36.280><c> of</c>

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.500

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:44.859
actually<00:01:42.879><c> lacking</c><00:01:43.400><c> from</c><00:01:43.620><c> this</c><00:01:43.939><c> parable</c><00:01:44.299><c> here.</c>

00:01:44.859 --> 00:01:48.780
And<00:01:45.359><c> it's</c><00:01:45.519><c> for</c><00:01:45.739><c> this</c><00:01:45.939><c> reason</c><00:01:46.480><c> that</c><00:01:47.480><c> it</c><00:01:47.859><c> wasn't</c><00:01:48.159><c> appropriate</c>

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:51.659

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:57.280
It<00:01:52.359><c> was</c><00:01:52.599><c> later</c><00:01:52.939><c> when</c><00:01:54.019><c> they</c><00:01:55.359><c> had</c><00:01:55.939><c> hardened</c><00:01:56.359><c> their</c><00:01:56.739><c> opposition</c>

00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:13.819
this<00:03:13.500><c> feast,</c>

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:17.879
whether<00:03:14.099><c> it's</c><00:03:14.439><c> the</c><00:03:14.639><c> regular</c><00:03:15.060><c> great</c><00:03:15.400><c> feast</c><00:03:15.740><c> here</c><00:03:16.139><c> or</c><00:03:16.360><c> the</c><00:03:16.620><c> marriage</c><00:03:16.960><c> feast</c><00:03:17.419><c> that</c>

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.639
What<00:03:19.120><c> is</c><00:03:19.340><c> this</c><00:03:19.620><c> great</c><00:03:19.939><c> meal</c><00:03:20.379><c> that</c><00:03:20.599><c> is</c><00:03:20.780><c> being</c><00:03:21.139><c> prepared?</c>

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.599

00:03:24.939 --> 00:03:28.719
Now,<00:03:25.539><c> it's</c><00:03:26.139><c> important</c><00:03:26.719><c> to</c><00:03:27.099><c> recognize</c><00:03:27.719><c> when</c><00:03:27.919><c> you</c><00:03:28.180><c> read</c><00:03:28.379><c> these</c>

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.379
It<00:03:38.039><c> hasn't</c><00:03:38.379><c> commenced</c><00:03:38.919><c> yet.</c>

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.560
It's<00:03:39.979><c> rather</c><00:03:40.259><c> getting</c><00:03:40.580><c> everyone</c><00:03:41.020><c> together</c><00:03:41.520><c> so</c><00:03:41.719><c> they</c><00:03:41.879><c> can</c><00:03:42.139><c> have</c><00:03:42.460><c> the</c><00:03:42.699><c> meal.</c>

00:03:44.060 --> 00:03:46.280
Now,<00:03:44.259><c> that</c><00:03:44.379><c> may</c><00:03:44.639><c> seem</c><00:03:44.879><c> unimportant,</c><00:03:45.520><c> but</c><00:03:45.699><c> actually</c><00:03:46.039><c> it's</c><00:03:46.280><c> a</c>

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.919
very<00:03:46.680><c> important</c><00:03:47.240><c> detail</c>

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.379
because<00:03:48.460><c> it</c><00:03:48.780><c> helps</c><00:03:48.979><c> you</c><00:03:49.319><c> to</c><00:03:49.639><c> understand</c><00:03:50.060><c> why</c><00:03:50.319><c> the</c><00:03:50.580><c> suggestions</c><00:03:51.080><c> that</c><00:03:51.240><c> I'm</c>

00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:57.939
Because<00:03:55.639><c> there</c><00:03:55.879><c> are</c><00:03:56.259><c> alternative</c><00:03:56.819><c> suggestions</c><00:03:57.400><c> of</c><00:03:57.599><c> which</c><00:03:57.780><c> I</c>

00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:02.219

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.400
So<00:04:02.800><c> what</c><00:04:02.939><c> is</c><00:04:03.180><c> this</c><00:04:03.479><c> great</c><00:04:03.780><c> marriage</c><00:04:04.159><c> feast?</c>

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.590

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:13.139
about<00:04:12.659><c> meals.</c>

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:15.379
We<00:04:13.680><c> don't</c><00:04:13.879><c> have</c><00:04:14.099><c> time</c><00:04:14.300><c> to</c><00:04:14.460><c> get</c><00:04:14.599><c> into</c><00:04:14.759><c> those,</c><00:04:15.039><c> but</c><00:04:15.120><c> they're</c>

00:04:15.379 --> 00:04:16.339
also<00:04:15.680><c> fascinating.</c>

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:18.600
In<00:04:16.699><c> fact,</c><00:04:16.800><c> very</c><00:04:17.139><c> fascinating</c><00:04:17.699><c> and</c><00:04:18.060><c> instructive.</c>

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.120

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.959

00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:33.519
Things<00:04:29.899><c> were</c><00:04:30.100><c> getting</c><00:04:30.379><c> real</c><00:04:31.060><c> uncomfortable,</c><00:04:32.120><c> you</c><00:04:32.120><c> know,</c><00:04:32.279><c> this</c><00:04:32.480><c> kind</c><00:04:32.699><c> of</c><00:04:32.959><c> uncomfortable</c>

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:43.680
Jesus<00:04:40.019><c> is</c><00:04:40.279><c> like</c><00:04:40.519><c> that.</c><00:04:41.339><c> He</c><00:04:41.579><c> did</c><00:04:41.759><c> that</c><00:04:42.000><c> often</c><00:04:42.379><c> to</c><00:04:42.680><c> people.</c>

00:04:44.139 --> 00:04:46.720

00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.319
This<00:04:59.040><c> conversation</c><00:04:59.639><c> was</c><00:04:59.800><c> going</c><00:04:59.959><c> the</c><00:05:00.160><c> wrong</c><00:05:00.360><c> way.</c>

00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:04.480
So<00:05:01.879><c> Jesus</c><00:05:02.120><c> picks</c><00:05:02.439><c> that</c><00:05:02.720><c> one</c><00:05:02.899><c> up.</c><00:05:03.300><c> But</c><00:05:03.420><c> just</c><00:05:03.660><c> notice,</c><00:05:03.980><c> that's</c>

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:04.980
the<00:05:04.680><c> theme.</c>

00:05:05.139 --> 00:05:08.639
Blessed<00:05:05.500><c> is</c><00:05:05.740><c> he</c><00:05:05.920><c> that</c><00:05:06.100><c> shall</c><00:05:06.339><c> eat</c><00:05:06.800><c> bread</c><00:05:07.360><c> in</c><00:05:07.660><c> the</c><00:05:07.879><c> kingdom</c><00:05:08.160><c> of</c><00:05:08.439><c> God.</c>

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.339
And<00:05:08.879><c> then</c><00:05:09.019><c> Jesus</c><00:05:09.300><c> immediately</c><00:05:10.000><c> comes</c><00:05:10.300><c> back</c><00:05:10.620><c> with</c><00:05:10.819><c> a</c><00:05:11.019><c> parable</c>

00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:11.839
and<00:05:11.519><c> says,</c>

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.939

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.579
Okay.<00:05:17.480><c> And</c><00:05:18.040><c> finally,</c><00:05:19.079><c> the</c><00:05:19.259><c> one</c><00:05:19.399><c> in</c><00:05:19.680><c> Matthew,</c><00:05:20.139><c> I</c><00:05:20.339><c> think,</c>

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:24.459
really<00:05:21.019><c> helps</c><00:05:21.259><c> to</c><00:05:21.660><c> focus</c><00:05:22.040><c> our</c><00:05:22.399><c> attention</c><00:05:22.819><c> in</c><00:05:22.980><c> the</c><00:05:23.120><c> right</c><00:05:23.379><c> direction.</c>

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:30.500
It<00:05:24.939><c> is</c><00:05:25.199><c> a</c><00:05:25.500><c> king</c><00:05:25.980><c> who</c><00:05:27.199><c> is</c><00:05:27.819><c> putting</c><00:05:28.060><c> on</c><00:05:28.500><c> a</c><00:05:28.959><c> marriage</c><00:05:29.500><c> supper</c><00:05:30.019><c> for</c>

his<00:05:31.000><c> son.</c>

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.339
All<00:05:33.019><c> right.</c><00:05:33.220><c> We</c><00:05:33.540><c> know</c><00:05:33.699><c> what</c><00:05:33.839><c> this</c><00:05:34.100><c> is</c><00:05:34.300><c> talking</c><00:05:34.519><c> about,</c><00:05:35.160><c> surely.</c>

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.019
We<00:05:35.860><c> go</c><00:05:36.040><c> over</c><00:05:36.220><c> to</c><00:05:36.319><c> Matthew,</c><00:05:36.860><c> not</c><00:05:36.980><c> Matthew,</c><00:05:37.699><c> Revelation</c><00:05:38.100><c> chapter</c><00:05:38.480><c> 19.</c>

00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:47.540
Okay.<00:05:40.579><c> So</c><00:05:41.420><c> take</c><00:05:42.220><c> a</c><00:05:42.360><c> look</c><00:05:42.480><c> at</c><00:05:42.699><c> Revelation</c><00:05:43.180><c> chapter</c><00:05:43.620><c> 19</c><00:05:44.959><c> and</c><00:05:46.740><c> verses</c><00:05:47.100><c> 7</c>

And<00:06:06.060><c> to</c><00:06:06.160><c> her</c><00:06:06.500><c> it</c><00:06:06.720><c> was</c><00:06:06.980><c> granted</c><00:06:07.339><c> to</c><00:06:07.660><c> be</c><00:06:07.939><c> arrayed</c><00:06:08.360><c> in</c><00:06:08.680><c> fine</c><00:06:08.980><c> linen,</c><00:06:09.519><c> clean</c>

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.439
And<00:06:14.560><c> he</c><00:06:14.839><c> said</c><00:06:15.040><c> to</c><00:06:15.220><c> me,</c><00:06:15.680><c> Right,</c><00:06:16.060><c> blessed</c><00:06:16.319><c> are</c><00:06:16.579><c> those</c><00:06:17.060><c> who</c><00:06:17.480><c> are</c><00:06:18.000><c> called</c>

00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.360

00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:24.899
And<00:06:22.319><c> interestingly,</c><00:06:23.100><c> the</c><00:06:23.399><c> Greek</c><00:06:23.699><c> behind</c><00:06:24.199><c> that</c><00:06:24.560><c> word,</c><00:06:24.759><c> who</c>

are<00:06:25.259><c> called,</c>

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:30.379
has<00:06:26.199><c> the</c><00:06:26.379><c> idea</c><00:06:26.740><c> of</c><00:06:26.860><c> who</c><00:06:26.980><c> are</c><00:06:27.300><c> called</c><00:06:27.560><c> and</c><00:06:27.860><c> are</c><00:06:28.259><c> still</c><00:06:28.639><c> being</c><00:06:29.180><c> called.</c>

00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.060
So<00:06:30.800><c> it's</c><00:06:30.980><c> not</c><00:06:31.160><c> as</c><00:06:31.319><c> if</c><00:06:31.420><c> it</c><00:06:31.540><c> was</c><00:06:31.660><c> just</c><00:06:31.879><c> a</c><00:06:32.079><c> past</c><00:06:32.360><c> tense</c><00:06:32.639><c> thing</c><00:06:32.939><c> that</c>

00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:51.439
And<00:06:47.019><c> so</c><00:06:47.319><c> the</c><00:06:47.639><c> great</c><00:06:48.560><c> supper,</c><00:06:49.240><c> the</c><00:06:49.519><c> great</c><00:06:50.120><c> marriage</c><00:06:50.959><c> feast</c>

00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:07.180
that<00:07:04.279><c> we</c><00:07:04.439><c> will</c><00:07:04.680><c> share</c><00:07:04.980><c> with</c><00:07:05.399><c> our</c><00:07:05.639><c> Lord</c><00:07:05.839><c> Jesus</c><00:07:06.259><c> Christ</c><00:07:06.779><c> and</c><00:07:07.079><c> our</c>

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.220
Heavenly<00:07:07.579><c> Father</c>

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:12.459
in<00:07:08.879><c> that</c><00:07:09.180><c> day</c><00:07:09.519><c> when</c><00:07:09.699><c> we</c><00:07:09.899><c> sit</c><00:07:10.139><c> down</c><00:07:10.459><c> with</c><00:07:10.779><c> Abraham,</c><00:07:11.360><c> Isaac,</c><00:07:11.779><c> and</c><00:07:12.019><c> Jacob</c>

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.819
So<00:07:15.379><c> it's</c><00:07:15.660><c> the</c><00:07:15.860><c> marriage</c><00:07:16.319><c> feast.</c>

00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:22.019
Now<00:07:17.300><c> do</c><00:07:17.399><c> you</c><00:07:17.540><c> understand</c><00:07:17.860><c> why</c><00:07:18.220><c> I</c><00:07:18.300><c> said</c><00:07:18.579><c> we</c><00:07:19.139><c> never</c><00:07:19.639><c> saw</c><00:07:20.100><c> the</c><00:07:20.540><c> feast</c><00:07:20.939><c> in</c><00:07:21.399><c> progress?</c>

00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.480

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.879
Because<00:07:25.980><c> we're</c><00:07:26.120><c> not</c><00:07:26.439><c> dealing</c><00:07:26.720><c> with</c><00:07:26.959><c> the</c><00:07:27.319><c> kingdom</c><00:07:27.759><c> in</c><00:07:28.139><c> these</c><00:07:28.420><c> parables.</c>

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.740

00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:38.839

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:17.419
The<00:16:15.539><c> master</c><00:16:15.919><c> of</c><00:16:16.080><c> the</c><00:16:16.240><c> house</c><00:16:16.460><c> said,</c>

And<00:16:21.220><c> so</c><00:16:21.360><c> they</c><00:16:21.519><c> went</c><00:16:21.679><c> out</c><00:16:22.259><c> and</c><00:16:23.419><c> the</c><00:16:24.919><c> servant</c>

And<00:22:27.240><c> his</c><00:22:27.519><c> servant</c><00:22:27.880><c> had</c><00:22:28.059><c> been</c><00:22:28.319><c> charged</c><00:22:28.839><c> with</c><00:22:29.119><c> fulfilling</c><00:22:29.559><c> it.</c>

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.940
I<00:22:44.880><c> don't</c><00:22:45.059><c> know</c><00:22:45.140><c> if</c><00:22:45.240><c> you</c><00:22:45.359><c> ever</c><00:22:45.579><c> noticed</c><00:22:45.980><c> that</c><00:22:46.279><c> the</c><00:22:46.500><c> Apostle</c>

And<00:22:52.900><c> he</c><00:22:53.039><c> even</c><00:22:53.440><c> sees</c><00:22:53.619><c> it</c><00:22:53.759><c> as</c><00:22:53.940><c> his</c><00:22:54.200><c> own</c><00:22:54.519><c> commission.</c>

00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.240
Yesterday<00:22:58.039><c> we</c><00:22:58.519><c> talked</c><00:22:58.799><c> about</c><00:22:59.059><c> the</c><00:22:59.319><c> vine</c><00:22:59.519><c> and</c><00:22:59.680><c> being</c><00:22:59.900><c> part</c><00:23:00.140><c> of</c>

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.400
the<00:23:00.359><c> vine.</c>

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:02.019
Isn't<00:23:00.640><c> this</c><00:23:00.859><c> interesting?</c>

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:06.839
The<00:23:02.660><c> work</c><00:23:02.940><c> of</c><00:23:03.220><c> Christ</c><00:23:04.200><c> Paul</c><00:23:04.980><c> sees</c><00:23:05.319><c> as</c><00:23:05.480><c> his</c><00:23:05.779><c> own</c>

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:14.200
But<00:23:12.339><c> yet</c><00:23:12.500><c> it's</c><00:23:12.700><c> Christ</c><00:23:13.019><c> that</c><00:23:13.200><c> is</c><00:23:13.359><c> doing</c><00:23:13.599><c> it.</c>

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:17.019
And<00:23:14.660><c> Paul</c><00:23:14.859><c> is</c><00:23:15.099><c> really</c><00:23:15.339><c> just</c><00:23:15.599><c> the</c><00:23:15.880><c> extension</c><00:23:16.319><c> of</c><00:23:16.559><c> the</c><00:23:16.759><c> hands</c>

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:21.839
And<00:23:20.259><c> so</c><00:23:20.440><c> the</c><00:23:20.559><c> Lord,</c><00:23:20.900><c> though</c><00:23:21.119><c> he</c><00:23:21.240><c> is</c><00:23:21.359><c> in</c><00:23:21.539><c> heaven,</c>

his<00:23:22.240><c> work</c><00:23:22.480><c> is</c><00:23:22.680><c> being</c><00:23:22.980><c> done</c><00:23:23.240><c> by</c><00:23:23.480><c> all</c><00:23:23.819><c> those</c><00:23:24.039><c> that</c><00:23:24.180><c> are</c><00:23:24.400><c> part</c><00:23:24.640><c> of</c><00:23:24.859><c> him.</c>

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.920
So<00:23:25.619><c> that's</c><00:23:26.160><c> why</c><00:23:26.400><c> we</c><00:23:26.740><c> all</c><00:23:27.039><c> are</c><00:23:27.380><c> part</c><00:23:27.660><c> of</c><00:23:28.099><c> the</c><00:23:28.380><c> servant</c><00:23:28.880><c> and</c><00:23:29.779><c> doing</c><00:23:30.160><c> this</c><00:23:30.519><c> work.</c>

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:32.799
That's<00:23:31.480><c> just</c><00:23:31.680><c> an</c><00:23:31.819><c> aside.</c>

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:33.799
Okay?

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.039
So<00:23:34.200><c> the</c><00:23:34.299><c> house</c><00:23:34.519><c> was</c><00:23:34.759><c> filled</c><00:23:35.000><c> and</c><00:23:35.299><c> that's</c><00:23:35.700><c> the</c><00:23:35.779><c> end</c><00:23:35.779><c> of</c><00:23:35.900><c> the</c>

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.039
parable,<00:23:36.660><c> right?</c>

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:39.200
Now<00:23:37.700><c> we</c><00:23:37.779><c> go</c><00:23:37.960><c> over</c><00:23:38.079><c> to</c><00:23:38.140><c> Matthew</c><00:23:38.440><c> 22,</c>

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.160
where<00:23:39.819><c> things</c><00:23:40.140><c> are</c><00:23:40.339><c> getting</c><00:23:40.519><c> a</c><00:23:40.559><c> little</c><00:23:40.759><c> more</c><00:23:41.039><c> heated.</c>

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.039
Because<00:23:43.539><c> over</c><00:23:43.819><c> in</c><00:23:43.980><c> Matthew</c><00:23:44.279><c> 22,</c>

00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.819
we're<00:23:45.619><c> moving</c><00:23:45.920><c> to</c><00:23:46.119><c> the</c><00:23:46.319><c> end</c><00:23:46.500><c> of</c><00:23:46.619><c> the</c><00:23:46.799><c> ministry</c><00:23:47.079><c> of</c><00:23:47.279><c> our</c><00:23:47.480><c> Lord.</c>

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:49.640
And<00:23:48.400><c> as</c><00:23:48.640><c> I</c><00:23:48.859><c> noted</c><00:23:49.059><c> earlier,</c>

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:54.720
he's<00:23:50.539><c> now</c><00:23:51.180><c> specially</c><00:23:51.559><c> crafted</c><00:23:52.079><c> the</c><00:23:52.539><c> details</c><00:23:52.859><c> of</c><00:23:53.079><c> this</c><00:23:53.359><c> parable</c>

00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:08.240
And<00:24:02.980><c> so</c><00:24:03.259><c> in</c><00:24:03.539><c> this</c><00:24:03.859><c> parable,</c><00:24:04.359><c> and</c><00:24:04.640><c> this</c><00:24:04.859><c> is</c><00:24:05.039><c> Matthew</c><00:24:05.380><c> 22,</c><00:24:06.220><c> verses</c><00:24:06.519><c> 1</c><00:24:06.819><c> through</c><00:24:07.059><c> 10,</c>

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.660
and<00:24:20.519><c> sent</c><00:24:20.640><c> out</c><00:24:20.880><c> his</c><00:24:21.200><c> servants</c><00:24:21.480><c> to</c><00:24:21.759><c> call</c><00:24:22.019><c> those</c><00:24:22.339><c> who</c><00:24:22.579><c> were</c><00:24:22.799><c> invited</c><00:24:23.299><c> to</c>

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.759
the<00:24:23.859><c> wedding.</c>

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.539
All<00:24:26.140><c> right?</c>

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:27.720
He<00:24:26.859><c> sent</c><00:24:27.059><c> out</c><00:24:27.240><c> his</c><00:24:27.519><c> servants.</c>

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.200
If<00:24:28.119><c> you</c><00:24:28.259><c> look</c><00:24:28.400><c> through</c><00:24:28.599><c> this</c><00:24:28.880><c> parable,</c>

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:32.059
you<00:24:29.359><c> discover</c><00:24:29.759><c> there</c><00:24:29.960><c> are</c><00:24:30.079><c> actually</c><00:24:30.359><c> three</c><00:24:30.660><c> sets</c><00:24:30.940><c> of</c><00:24:31.240><c> servants.</c>

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:36.140
There's<00:24:33.380><c> the</c><00:24:33.619><c> servants</c><00:24:33.819><c> here</c><00:24:34.099><c> in</c><00:24:34.279><c> verse</c><00:24:34.759><c> 3.</c>

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:38.900
There's<00:24:36.619><c> the</c><00:24:36.900><c> servants</c><00:24:37.299><c> in</c><00:24:37.759><c> verse</c><00:24:38.359><c> 4,</c>

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:41.779
because<00:24:39.339><c> there's</c><00:24:40.220><c> a</c><00:24:40.480><c> failure</c><00:24:40.759><c> of</c><00:24:40.940><c> the</c><00:24:41.119><c> first</c><00:24:41.339><c> case,</c>

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.480
and<00:24:42.299><c> there</c><00:24:42.500><c> are</c><00:24:42.900><c> servants</c><00:24:43.279><c> again</c><00:24:43.700><c> in</c><00:24:43.920><c> verse</c><00:24:44.259><c> 8.</c>

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.200
And<00:24:46.460><c> notice</c><00:24:46.640><c> the</c><00:24:46.859><c> S</c><00:24:47.059><c> on</c><00:24:47.279><c> it.</c>

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:51.160
So<00:24:49.000><c> there's</c><00:24:49.359><c> a</c><00:24:49.519><c> different</c><00:24:49.779><c> focus</c><00:24:50.200><c> here.</c>

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:53.980
It's<00:24:51.900><c> kind</c><00:24:52.059><c> of</c><00:24:52.160><c> like</c><00:24:52.319><c> that</c><00:24:52.599><c> passage</c><00:24:53.039><c> that</c><00:24:53.299><c> we've</c><00:24:53.599><c> read,</c>

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.420
somewhere<00:24:54.680><c> during</c><00:24:54.960><c> the</c><00:24:55.119><c> week</c><00:24:55.279><c> it</c><00:24:55.400><c> was</c><00:24:55.640><c> read,</c>

00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.759
about<00:24:56.440><c> God</c><00:24:57.420><c> sending</c><00:24:57.759><c> his</c><00:24:58.099><c> prophets,</c><00:24:58.779><c> rising</c><00:24:59.160><c> up</c><00:24:59.440><c> early</c>

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:05.480
The<00:25:03.220><c> same</c><00:25:03.500><c> kind</c><00:25:03.799><c> of</c><00:25:04.059><c> idea</c><00:25:04.359><c> is</c><00:25:04.500><c> going</c><00:25:04.799><c> on</c><00:25:05.099><c> here.</c>

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:09.099
And<00:25:05.960><c> so</c><00:25:06.140><c> the</c><00:25:06.299><c> first</c><00:25:06.579><c> set</c><00:25:06.819><c> of</c><00:25:07.079><c> servants,</c><00:25:07.539><c> I</c><00:25:07.559><c> would</c><00:25:07.759><c> suggest</c><00:25:08.220><c> to</c><00:25:08.400><c> you,</c>

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:10.940

00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:14.319
Obviously<00:25:11.700><c> the</c><00:25:11.920><c> disciples</c><00:25:12.460><c> are</c><00:25:13.380><c> part</c><00:25:13.700><c> of</c><00:25:13.940><c> this.</c>

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:16.599
But<00:25:14.740><c> it's</c><00:25:15.019><c> the</c><00:25:15.220><c> work</c><00:25:15.480><c> of</c><00:25:15.839><c> the</c><00:25:16.079><c> ministry,</c>

00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:07.140
God<00:32:02.279><c> did</c><00:32:02.619><c> send</c><00:32:03.079><c> the</c><00:32:03.480><c> Roman</c><00:32:04.900><c> army,</c><00:32:05.799><c> His</c><00:32:06.140><c> army,</c>

So<00:32:12.680><c> He</c><00:32:13.220><c> said</c><00:32:13.440><c> to</c><00:32:13.619><c> His</c><00:32:13.859><c> servants,</c>

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:17.319

00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:18.759
He<00:32:17.799><c> said</c><00:32:18.019><c> to</c><00:32:18.240><c> His</c><00:32:18.500><c> servants,</c>

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:29.759
So<00:32:25.799><c> they</c><00:32:26.279><c> were</c><00:32:27.119><c> told</c><00:32:27.539><c> to</c><00:32:28.319><c> go</c><00:32:28.619><c> out</c><00:32:28.880><c> into</c><00:32:29.079><c> the</c><00:32:29.319><c> highways</c>

All<00:32:33.440><c> right?</c>

I<00:36:55.519><c> better</c><00:36:55.659><c> bring</c><00:36:55.860><c> my</c><00:36:56.800><c> wedding</c><00:36:57.019><c> clothes,</c>

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:59.460
my<00:36:58.199><c> best</c><00:36:58.519><c> suit.</c>

00:37:00.139 --> 00:37:02.420
Can't<00:37:00.519><c> you</c><00:37:00.659><c> understand</c><00:37:01.000><c> that</c><00:37:01.179><c> none</c><00:37:01.340><c> of</c><00:37:01.460><c> those</c><00:37:01.659><c> people</c><00:37:01.980><c> out</c><00:37:02.159><c> there</c>

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:05.940

00:37:06.179 --> 00:37:10.980
So<00:37:06.500><c> doesn't</c><00:37:06.739><c> it</c><00:37:06.960><c> make</c><00:37:07.239><c> sense</c><00:37:07.920><c> that</c><00:37:08.440><c> the</c><00:37:08.820><c> king</c><00:37:09.239><c> had</c><00:37:09.900><c> to</c><00:37:10.239><c> provide</c>

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:17.659
Because<00:37:15.019><c> they</c><00:37:15.199><c> would</c><00:37:15.420><c> come,</c><00:37:15.699><c> they</c><00:37:15.820><c> would</c><00:37:16.000><c> be</c><00:37:16.159><c> in</c><00:37:16.300><c> all</c><00:37:16.679><c> different</c><00:37:17.260><c> states</c>

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:27.119
And<00:37:23.820><c> so</c><00:37:24.000><c> it</c><00:37:24.239><c> was</c><00:37:24.539><c> that</c><00:37:24.800><c> indeed</c><00:37:25.199><c> the</c><00:37:25.380><c> king</c><00:37:25.639><c> would</c><00:37:25.980><c> provide</c><00:37:26.360><c> the</c><00:37:26.619><c> garment</c>

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.460

00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:35.679
Every<00:37:33.320><c> one</c><00:37:33.480><c> of</c><00:37:33.659><c> them</c><00:37:33.840><c> is</c><00:37:34.199><c> indeed</c><00:37:34.559><c> given</c><00:37:34.880><c> a</c><00:37:35.099><c> wedding</c><00:37:35.300><c> garment,</c>

00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:37.579
aren't<00:37:35.900><c> they,</c><00:37:36.239><c> brethren</c><00:37:36.380><c> and</c><00:37:36.599><c> sisters?</c>

00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:40.440
It's<00:37:38.360><c> the</c><00:37:38.460><c> one</c><00:37:38.599><c> that</c><00:37:38.820><c> you</c><00:37:39.079><c> wear</c><00:37:39.280><c> when</c><00:37:39.480><c> you</c><00:37:39.639><c> were</c><00:37:39.860><c> baptized</c>

00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:46.760
And<00:37:42.880><c> so</c><00:37:43.179><c> you</c><00:37:43.480><c> have</c><00:37:43.780><c> been</c><00:37:44.179><c> clothed</c><00:37:45.179><c> so</c><00:37:45.420><c> that</c><00:37:45.820><c> former</c><00:37:46.280><c> garments,</c>

00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:51.719
your<00:37:47.219><c> former</c><00:37:47.619><c> appearance,</c><00:37:49.099><c> might</c><00:37:49.440><c> be</c><00:37:50.760><c> covered.</c>

00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:56.440
You<00:37:52.139><c> all,</c><00:37:52.519><c> they</c><00:37:52.739><c> all</c><00:37:53.059><c> have</c><00:37:53.280><c> received</c><00:37:53.679><c> therefore</c><00:37:54.119><c> the</c><00:37:54.380><c> same</c><00:37:54.599><c> blessing</c><00:37:55.039><c> in</c><00:37:55.360><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:57.139 --> 00:38:03.699
But<00:37:57.699><c> you</c><00:37:57.880><c> know,</c><00:37:58.980><c> sadly,</c><00:38:00.579><c> not</c><00:38:00.800><c> everybody</c><00:38:01.280><c> saw</c><00:38:02.099><c> the</c><00:38:02.679><c> need</c><00:38:03.139><c> for</c>

00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:04.940
that<00:38:03.960><c> garment.</c>

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.659
Apparently,<00:38:06.039><c> because</c><00:38:06.199><c> we're</c><00:38:06.380><c> about</c><00:38:06.599><c> to</c><00:38:06.800><c> read</c><00:38:06.960><c> about</c><00:38:07.219><c> this,</c>

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:09.619
there<00:38:08.099><c> was</c><00:38:08.280><c> one</c><00:38:08.579><c> man</c><00:38:08.840><c> there.</c>

00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:13.340
He<00:38:10.579><c> had</c><00:38:10.820><c> some</c><00:38:11.099><c> pretty</c><00:38:11.480><c> fine</c><00:38:11.820><c> clothes</c><00:38:12.219><c> on.</c>

00:38:13.579 --> 00:38:16.579
He<00:38:13.860><c> was</c><00:38:14.139><c> going</c><00:38:14.300><c> to</c><00:38:14.300><c> some</c><00:38:14.539><c> pretty</c><00:38:14.840><c> important</c><00:38:15.260><c> places.</c>

00:38:19.139 --> 00:38:21.280
And<00:38:19.239><c> that</c><00:38:19.800><c> other</c><00:38:19.960><c> guy</c><00:38:20.179><c> over</c><00:38:20.440><c> there</c><00:38:20.579><c> in</c><00:38:20.800><c> rags,</c>

00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.519
I<00:38:21.719><c> understand</c><00:38:22.159><c> why</c><00:38:22.360><c> he's</c><00:38:22.639><c> got</c><00:38:22.719><c> to</c><00:38:22.840><c> wear</c><00:38:22.960><c> that</c><00:38:23.320><c> thing,</c>

00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.139
but<00:38:23.780><c> I</c><00:38:24.119><c> don't</c><00:38:24.360><c> really</c><00:38:24.639><c> need</c><00:38:24.840><c> to</c><00:38:25.000><c> wear</c><00:38:25.139><c> that.</c>

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:27.760
I'm<00:38:26.519><c> all</c><00:38:26.699><c> right</c><00:38:26.860><c> in</c><00:38:27.079><c> my</c><00:38:27.480><c> clothes.</c>

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:29.920
What<00:38:28.420><c> I'm</c><00:38:28.699><c> wearing</c><00:38:28.880><c> is</c><00:38:29.199><c> perfectly</c><00:38:29.559><c> fine.</c>

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:33.900
The<00:38:30.539><c> king's</c><00:38:30.840><c> going</c><00:38:31.000><c> to</c><00:38:31.219><c> accept</c><00:38:31.500><c> me</c><00:38:31.880><c> and</c><00:38:32.039><c> probably</c><00:38:32.400><c> kind</c><00:38:32.679><c> of</c><00:38:33.340><c> take</c><00:38:33.679><c> a</c>

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:38.280
in<00:38:34.599><c> fact,</c><00:38:34.900><c> as</c><00:38:35.039><c> well,</c><00:38:35.360><c> because</c><00:38:35.739><c> I'm</c><00:38:36.639><c> looking</c><00:38:36.840><c> pretty</c><00:38:37.199><c> good.</c>

00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:43.219
Surely,<00:38:39.780><c> surely</c><00:38:40.199><c> they're</c><00:38:41.980><c> going</c><00:38:42.099><c> to</c><00:38:42.440><c> accept</c><00:38:42.639><c> me.</c>

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:48.920
And<00:38:43.659><c> so</c><00:38:43.900><c> Jesus,</c><00:38:45.840><c> do</c><00:38:46.159><c> you</c><00:38:46.179><c> see</c><00:38:46.300><c> how</c><00:38:46.559><c> he</c><00:38:47.019><c> knows</c><00:38:47.420><c> our</c><00:38:47.739><c> hearts,</c><00:38:48.159><c> brethren</c><00:38:48.300><c> and</c><00:38:48.559><c> sisters?</c>

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:54.039
And<00:38:49.400><c> Jesus</c><00:38:50.420><c> now</c><00:38:51.840><c> finishes</c><00:38:52.340><c> off</c><00:38:52.699><c> this</c><00:38:52.980><c> little</c><00:38:53.280><c> parable</c>
