| Wedding of Prince Felipe VI and Letizia Ortiz heir to the Spanish throne. |
A king prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Matthew 22
Imagine what this would be like today. The palace prepares for another royal wedding. But it all falls flat. The important guests show no regard for the great honour of being invited. More than that, they violently abuse the king's messengers. Do they know who they are offending?
There must be a celebration, and instead the king invites the grateful masses. We are the grateful masses, and we come willingly. We will never have a better offer.
PRAYER: Everything you are interested in is what I want too.
