Matthew 22:1-14 (Don’t just sit there! Look it up!)
Suppose a king invited you to a banquet. Would you be excited? You bet! You’d have to get a new dress or suit. And fix your hair. You’d want to look your absolute BEST. But the people in Jesus’ parable acted bored. “Sorry king. [yawn]” Some of them were angry. “Get out of here. Don’t bug me!” It’s a weird parable because no one would act this way
if invited to a king’s banquet. Yet people do act this way when god invites them to the biggest party the world will ever know. A party that will last FOREVER. How about you? Too busy? Or upset that God keeps bugging you to accept his invitaion and believe? Well, why?
