The “elect” just means the “choice” ones. The special ones. The ones who cared enough to listen and respond and do what he said.
Amen, brother.
“MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE ELECT” -Jesus
Who are “the called” in that parable?
Everyone
Who are “the elect” in that parable?
Those who came in response to the King’s call clothed in the right wedding garments (Christ)
If the king is somehow secretly controlling how those who are called respond to his calling, this parable makes absolutely no rational sense.
Jesus makes sense.
