I never completely understood this parable but after reading a few times and looking at other notes, I get it. The Israelites where originally invited, but when the food came to the table [Jesus showed up], they did everything to be excused. So God says, "Fine! I'll invite someone else [they were the Gentiles! Yes!]. Besides, I make an awesome reuben sandwich!"
I'm so glad I received an invitation! And also an invitation to the 6 AM Saturday morning 'supper' with all of you. I'm getting so much out of reading every day! Let's make a covenant that there will be no buying of oxen, property, or getting married on Saturday mornings that we meet. That way there are no excuse why we can't make it! Is there a reuben on Denny's menu...?
