Matthew 22:1-14
-
The dark parable Jesus tells challenges us, not to learn what to do, but to recall and do what we’ve already learned from him.
-
The parable is dark and disturbing. It doesn’t play out as we expect. And we’re not sure what it is supposed to mean. But maybe we should.
-
There’s something about parables we just get. They connect with us better than any other teaching. And they have far more depth.
-
Our blindness to the presence of God is normal. But it is also an obstacle to our work of building the kin-dom.
