Master Jesus: The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. Matthew 22:2

Jesus in the gospel of Saint Matthew taught to us the parable of the wedding banquet, this parable has a remarkable similarity with some teachings from the book of Proverbs, which speak to us of a personified wisdom that calls men to live with her, and shows to them his spiritual treasures (Proverbs 8: 1-21), and also makes a banquet with men to bless them (Proverbs 9:1-6), and this is so because in essence the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections, is the manifestation of the divine wisdom among men. The doctrine of the Kingdom of God has its origin in the sapiential books such as the books of wisdom, psalms, and proverbs.
The parables are stories, metaphors, that seek to illustrate some concept of the kingdom of God, Jesus with this parable sought to teach us that the Kingdom is an invitation, but it is up to us to accept that invitation or not, because we sin or we live righteously, with these words he began his teaching:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come" Matthew 22:2-3.
But then he told us that the first guests at the banquet refused the invitation and mistreated the servants, the king destroyed them. Jesus with this explained to us that those who lead a life full of sins cannot accept the invitation to the banquet.
And then Jesus continued with his story, the servants went looking for other people, and they accepted:
"So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests" Matthew 22:10.
And then he concluded: "For many are invited, but few are chosen" Matthew 22:14.
The Kingdom of God is a universal call to conversion, to redemption, to true joy and happiness, but not everyone is prepared for this, that is, there are few chosen ones, everything depends on the hearts, from a heart of flesh towards God or a heart of stone.
