Many Are Called Few Are Chosen – What does this mean?
What does Yeshua mean when He says, “Many are called, but few are chosen”? This Teaching examines Matthew 22:1-14 in the context of the wedding feast and the prophets’ remnant theme. It contrasts the invitation with the response of those invited, considers the wedding garment, and asks how the Father’s drawing in John 6 relates to His stated desire that people repent. The speaker also explores Abraham’s call, spiritual resistance, being brought near in Messiah, and why humble perseverance matters.
