Read Matthew 22:1-14.
In this parable a King sends out invitations for His son’s wedding celebration, and no one came. Can you imagine that? It would be an honor to be invited to a party from the king. He then sent out his servants to invite people in person, and they seized the servants, mistreated some and killed others. Since they refused to respond to the invitation, the king sent more servants out and invited everyone who would like to attend this wedding feast. The people came and filled the wedding hall.
Jesus was preparing them to understand there will be people who will not respond to the Gospel. There are people who do not believe God exits or that Jesus is the savior of the world. Though they do not believe they are still invited. You are invited to the party. Come celebrate Jesus, invite Him into your heart and let Him be your personal savior.
Personal Worship Option:
King of kings, thank You for inviting us to the great banquet of Your Kingdom. You call us not because of our worthiness, but because of Your boundless grace. Open our hearts to hear Your call and may we come willingly into Your presence. May we also go out and invite others to the feast, sharing the good news of Your grace with joy and compassion. Thank You for making a place for us at Your table. In Jesus name, Amen.
