[QUOTE="Glass*Soul, post: 61095439, member: 111155"] Compare this passage from Matthew 11 to the parable of the wedding feast. [emphasis mine] John refused to put on fine clothing, eschewed the palaces of kings, refused to dance and sing on cue, but a violent king in a unlawful marriage, whose wedding feast invitations would have been as welcome as poisonous snakes to the upstanding Jews of his day, got his hands on him and sent him into the outer darkness. Jesus is next. He knows it. Once he tells the parable of the wedding feast, the Pharisees and Herodians are circling him almost before he can take another breath. I have a suspicion he knew they would and told this [I]very[/I] parable in this [I]very[/I] time and place with the express purpose of bringing them out of the woodwork. This is what the kingdom of heaven is like. As bing said, it is a Love Feast, but it can get you thrown into outer darkness. It is a feast of the sort of love that is willing to risk that. [/QUOTE]
