The Parable of the Wedding Feast - Luke 14:7-11

A modern retelling of Jesus' parable in Luke 14:7-11

This comes from 'McGee And Me- Star In The Breaking'.

Luke 14:1-11 "And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
And they could not answer him again to these things.
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Thisbis not the same wedding banquet parable as the one i heard.

That other one was about when a king started a banquet for his son's wedding (The kingdom of heaven in the end times)

The king sent servants to invite his people/guests (Allegory for God's citizens) yet the guests refused and gave excuses like "I have to sort out my flock of sheep" and another saying "I'm going to be busy on my business so no" etc, The king sent out more servants and they demmanded they come, some of the servants were mistreated and some were killed by the guests.

As the King found out, he ordered his soldiers to kill the murderers and burn their city saying "They have no right to come in" (Which is an allegory for the destruction of Jerusalem).

The king ordered the aervants he had to gather new guestsno matter who they are, no matter good or bad.

As the guests came to the feast with their required garments, they dig in until one of the servants reported the King that one of them wasn't wearing a garment, The king asked "How did you get in without a garment?" The guest was speechless and the king ordered to have him kicked out and tied up (the guest without garment is an allegory to the billions of false converts)

In the end Jesus Christ says "Many are called but few are chosen"

Edit: The parable the video was speaking about reminded me of a video called "It's not a sin to want to become the greatest in heaven" as he says "You must Humble yourself beloe in the Earth to do so"
