"And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them." ( Lk. 14.7-11)
Parable works on principle of Similitude so heaven and the earth have truth in common. Thy word is truth cannot be denied. So a simple wedding feast in which local worthies appropriate place of honour while poor Lazarus is among the dogs and at the farthest set by the gate. " 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." (14.10) The Jews took pride that they were people of the law but Jesus was implying their unworthiness when he laid down the kernel of the parable, "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."(Mt.20.16) So this commonplace event, a place for joy and social gathering has been hijacked by the devil to divide man created in 'our image' into hierarchy. So much so the most vile person who is made a President would want to wear a crown as well. Thus in the devil's disinformation space the meaner you get more honour you crave. So Solomon' advice was, "Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men."(Prov.25.6)
The Lord from heaven was telling the truth. Eye has not seen ear has heard what God has reserved for those who love him. "Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." Jesus was referring to the Gentile centurion's faith. "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven./But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness."(Mt.8.10-12)"Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away"(Ps.49:16-17)
