In this parable Jesus not only challenges us as a church He also tells us both history (the killing of the OT Prophets) and the future (fall of Jerusalem in 70AD). He challenges us to recognise His love for His Bride the Church and to realise that it is not our personal holiness that gets us the 'invitation' to the heavenly wedding party but rather the Father's initiative - just make sure you actually know Jesus and belong there before turning up!
