Yet notice how the king does not call the wedding crasher “jerk,” “idiot,” or “troublemaker.” He calls him “friend,” similar to the Lazarus parable, where the rich man is called “son.” God’s posture is one of friendship, of invitation, of embrace—even to the unrepentant rebel. God calls the wedding crasher “friend.”
Even whilst being quarantined away from God's kingdom God still says you as a friend and a son or daughter.
