Evening: Psalm 22; Matthew 22.1–14
Too many parables in our readings lately end with someone in outer darkness, weeping and gnashing their teeth! My heart wants relief, something better and brighter. But isn’t that the point? … the parables are addressed to me: ‘Graham, quit refusing great opportunities on the pretext you have something better to do.’ Our son’s wedding banquet recently really was a taste of something better and brighter; no wonder Jesus compares the kingdom to a wedding banquet ... Isn’t he really saying: ‘Life’s a banquet. Come, enjoy its wonders, and quit choosing lesser options; you’ll only end up regretting it’?
