Our paragraph topic is: (The king's anger) Part 5.
The king wanted to have a party. He had made preparations to have a wedding feast and that was what he was going to do. But no one came. So he had to find people to attend. He sent his servants out to the crossroads of the town and invited all that they saw, all that they met who were passing by the town, to come to the celebration. There was a party going on. There would be wine, and music, and food, and dancing, and laughter, so stop by on your journey and refresh yourself at this joyous event.
This was the message that was told to those that were met on the crossroads of the town. They were greeted with this great celebration so that they would take a detour and come to the party and the king would have his celebration. "And his servants went out into the roads, and gathered all whom they found."
The king wanted to celebrate the wedding feast. Christ is telling this parable so that the people will understand the kingdom of heaven. God our Father wants to have a celebration and he wants to invite all to come. He will send his servants out to all parts to gather all those that can come to the feast. His love for all determines to what lengths he will go to make sure that all are included and no one is left out.
He has already made the invitation to those that he thought were special. They refused his invitation and killed his messengers. They did not want his message to spread to the people so they tried to stop it from spreading. He sent his army out and burned their village and killed all involved. He now invites all those who were not special, the common man, those on the crossroads of life, those who have not heard of the celebration, those who are not a part of the town where the king reigns, the outsiders.
This king is generous. He is loving. He is kind. He is just. This wedding feast is important to him because it is his son that is being wedded to the bride. And that is something that is very important for him that he wants all to know and recognize. Come to the wedding feast and see the bride. Come to the wedding feast and celebrate the union of the two who will be joined together for life. Come to the wedding feast and recognize your part in honoring the bride and groom. For this is your future. This is your past. This is your place of worship and peace. This is where you belong in this house, in this building, in this sanctuary with your brothers and sisters alike. They await your coming. They welcome you with open arms. They greet you with a holy kiss. They are yours and you are theirs. Come!
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
