It is a great joy for a father to host a feast in honour of his son. The Father sent Jesus Christ to save the world. The reunification of heaven and earth should be cause for the most joyous banquet, yet the people who were to receive their Messiah were too busy with their trivial day-to-day affairs, too caught up in themselves, and too impressed with their self-sufficiency to show up. Others became so indignant that their autonomy was being threatened that they killed the messengers who were inviting them. The city that murdered God's messengers is about to be burned to the ground, and their invitation given to outsiders who are glad to come. We are those outsiders – Gentiles, prostitutes, tax collectors, and outsiders who have been taken in by grace. And yet we too need to be reminded of the graciousness of the King, lest we become complacent ourselves. God calls us to come as we are, but we must not stay as we are, as we can see in the man without a wedding garment. If we truly want to belong, we must come to Christ in faith to receive the covering of righteousness that only He can provide.
