When Jesus goes to dine at the house of the Pharisee, He notices how all the other guests have made sure of their own positions. The atmosphere of the evening is not relaxed. Everyone there is scrutinising this young preacher. What will He do? What will He say? Jesus decides to not disappoint them. He tells them a story about going to a wedding. Weddings are great images of the world, of life and of God’s inviting us to take a proper part in the life of God’s own kingdom. We are all invited to this wedding, not just some of us. We all have a seat at the table. In the kingdom of Jesus, says the Letter to the Hebrews, we are all “first-born†children and equal citizens of heaven. Do we show that in our way of living?
