Our passage today includes a number of notable parables, some of which concern the nature of death and the afterlife. Jesus tells His disciples to enter by the narrow way, because the door to God’s household will soon be shut and those outside will be turned away regardless of their proximity to Jesus. He compares God’s table to that of a man who throws a banquet, only to be turned down by those he had invited, and therefore he invites the weak, the poor, and those who are far off. Later, Jesus describes the joy in heaven over the lost who have been found, and the agony of those who enter the afterlife having neglected the teachings of God.
