Wedding Feast

Mt 22:1-14 is the famous wedding Feast Parable by Jesus.

My reflections are three points this morning

1. The calling of the Master
-- We are all called to attend His feast out of the kindness of the King of heaven.But most people have no response ,either out of negligence or whatever too busy personal /private reasons.
We have to pay the cost ourselves someday with our responses.

2. The unworthiness of those called
-- The kindness of the King of kings just shows us that all who are called are not worthy in the very first sense. We even have no claims for our own with the invitations. But we appear so often in a haughty way to be the guest of the King of heaven. We have to be humble in repentance in our relationships with the Lord our master.

3. The preparation of the called
-- The called guests have to be prepared for the feast or the master will not be pleased. Are we prepared for the Kingly feast ? Are we ready for attending the feast ?

Neglect our calling may be a tragedy.
Unawareness of our status and identity is even a tragic thing.
Going unprepared should be a warning too in our present walk with Him.
