Last week's gospel was the wedding guest gospel. In it, a king invites his people to a wedding of his son. His people first ignore, then kill his messengers. The king then attacks them and destroys their city. He then invites strangers and passers-by to the wedding.
Then things get really tough.
One new guest is improperly dressed. The king berates him, binds him and throws him into the darkness. This to a guy who was a stand-in for the original guests. A substitute. He is judged as strictly as the original guests.
Spiritually, Woody Allen is wrong: You get no credit for "showing up."
