jesus-without-language.net- Parable of the Banquet Guests (Luke 14) | Craft 1
Just occasionally it’s good to lean back on Classic church Sunday School crafts and for this parable of the banquet guests where ‘welcoming in’ is such a feature I’ve chosen the classic door hanger. On one side the banquet host is all alone and looking rather worried, on the other side he is surrounded with guests welcoming more in. This one is very simple and offers you a range of ways to make it, print with colored people and decorate around them, print with a colored background and decorate the people or print with no color at all and go to town decorating.

The parable of the banquet guests shows the welcoming nature of God. There is something special about images that invite you in, and giving depth is one of the simplest ways of doing so. This craft is super swift and simple to make, yet gives a fabulous result of a full table of people enjoying a feast.

Questions about the parable's characters and symbolism
• The King: What does the king's reaction to the invited guests—and to the guest without a wedding garment—teach about God's justice, mercy, and expectations?
• The Son: How does the identity of the banquet's groom, the king's son, help us understand the central message of the parable?
• The Initial Guests: Who do the first invited guests represent, and what is the significance of their various responses, from dismissal to violence?
• The "Good and Bad" Guests: Who are the guests found in the streets, and what does the king's inclusion of both "good and bad" signify about the reach of God's grace?
• The Wedding Garment: What does the wedding garment represent, and why was the king so harsh with the guest who lacked one? How does this address the idea of salvation by grace versus relying on one's own works?
Questions about the parable's narrative
• The Invitation: Why does the king send out a second invitation to the first set of guests after they refused the initial call? What does this demonstrate about God's patience?
• The King's Wrath: Given the king's generosity, why is his reaction to the initial guests' violence so severe? What historical event might Matthew's audience have understood this to reference?
• The Unclothed Guest: If wedding attire was customarily provided by the host, as some scholars suggest, what does the refusal to wear it imply about that guest's attitude toward the king?
• The Final Phrase: In what sense are "many called, but few are chosen"? Does this mean God chooses some people over others, or does it refer to how people respond to the invitation?
Questions about the parable's application
• Your Personal Role: If you were in this parable, which person would you be—a distracted guest, a violent one, or an appreciative guest from the streets? Why?
• True Acceptance: The parable warns against accepting God's invitation on our own terms. What are some modern ways people might try to attend the "banquet" of faith without accepting the "garment" of Christ's righteousness?
• The Christian Life: The parable implies that accepting the invitation should be reflected in how we live. How can we ensure our "garment" of faith is visible in our daily actions and attitudes?
• Evangelism: What implications does this parable have for our approach to sharing the gospel? How does it encourage us to invite "anyone you find"?
