An Anger That Blesses
Commentators note that the master's anger is not petty but a righteous response to the insult of his rejected invitation. Charles Spurgeon highlights that this is a 'happy anger that explodes in blessing.' Instead of simply punishing the ungrateful, the master's response is to invent a new way to show mercy by extending the invitation to a wider, more inclusive group.
