Matthew 22: 1 - 22 - Party Time
I’ve put together two wedding receptions. A lot of work and money. Would have been a bummer if no
one showed. God did the same thing, but those He invited got uppity. They turned their noses up –
probably vegans who didn’t want to be around all that meat! Actually, He was talking about the Jews and
their refusal to see God for who He was.
They preferred their own rules and perverted way of seeing religion. They couldn’t see that walking with
God was a celebration. A celebration? No, no!! People might actually have fun and enjoy their relationship with Him – we can’t have that!
He got tired of appealing to the ingrates and extended His party invitation to those outside of His family. How radical! He searched high and low and brought everyone in – especially those “undeserving” of His generosity.
Outrageous! Preposterous! Well, whatever you think, you better hurry up because the food is getting
cold.
