“The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king
who gave a wedding feast for his son.”

Matthew 22:2

Matthew 22:1-14

Reflection

Jesus tells a parable about the Kingdom of heaven, where a man invites many to his son’s wedding feast. The invited guests do not come and kill the king’s messenger. The king becomes angry and invites people from the streets to attend the banquet instead.

We are called to respond to God’s call. He invites us with open arms, but it is up to us to respond accordingly. We can choose to reject or accept Christ. He wants us to accept him, but does not impose on our free will.

The wedding feast of heaven will fulfill our deepest desires and complete us, for we will be united with God. Let us always choose Christ, especially in the small moments of life, keeping him at the center of all we do.
