The Wedding Banquet

The Wedding Banquet

Jesus reveals a revolutionary truth: you can’t be grandfathered into the kingdom of God. You have to accept the invitation and move.

Matthew 22:14
The Kingdom of Heaven is open to everyone, no matter their wealth, appearance, or personality. But not everyone chooses to join. In today’s story, a king plans a wedding for his son. He invites important people, but they refuse to come. Instead, the king invited others, which was shocking at the time. The king's first guests rudely reject his offer. Even when the king invites them again, some react angrily. This mirrors how some people get mad when they hear about Jesus. His message challenges us to be humble and loving, which not everyone likes. Eventually, the king welcomes everyone to the wedding, showing God's grace to all kinds of people. But there's a catch: one guest doesn’t wear the right clothes, symbolizing how we must accept Jesus to join God’s family.
