David Lose calls this parable "an ugly parable" for good reason. It has wedding invitees that turn down the king's invitation to his son's wedding banquet, violence, distruction of a city, and kicking a poor man out of the banquet who actually accepted the invitation. The sermon explores what is going on in another one of Jesus' parables. This one was addressed to the Jewish religious leaders who had rejected Jesus.
