The word parable is defined as a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach a truth, religious principle, or moral lesson. When Jesus spoke in parables, we get to see this in action, and we have the benefit of hindsight, being able to read through them again, and of course Jesus’ explanations to His disciples. To communicate truths about the Kingdom of God, Jesus used a parable about a wedding feast and its guests. Two conditions of people are represented:
First, those who despised the wedding, and second, those who came but did not respect the importance of the wedding. Both kinds of guests gained the same result. Jesus concludes the story with the summarizing statement: “For many are called, but few are chosen” (MATTHEW 22:14). While all are called to and hear the invitation to the Kingdom of God, few respond with faithful obedience to Christ.

Though the work itself does not n...

The Word; Mark 4-5
The parables that Jesus chose to tell are so interesting. They teach us about the Kingdom of God, about ourselves, our relationship with the world and with God. One of the parables in our reading today is about a farmer scattering seeds. This story crosses time and cultures easily because we all ...
