Matthew 22:8
Be very careful not to miss what is being said here. The wedding is ready. It is not dependent upon the invited parties. But, he king still wants someone in attendance for the sake of his son, and his own reputation. But notice exactly what he says about those who refused to attend. He does not say that they were unwilling, uncooperative, unsympathetic, too busy, distracted, etc. He flatly states that they were unworthy. In other words, there is absolutely no excuse for their actions. They failed to come because they were not worthy to come. They could not have invited themselves to the wedding, but by refusing to attend, they judged themselves unworthy of the honor. As has been stated, it was quite the insult to think that anyone would refuse the king’s gracious invitation.
