28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Immediately after criticizing the religious leaders through the parable of the ten-
ants in last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus proceeded to tell another parable, again di-
rected at the religious leaders. We hear this parable in today’s Gospel.
In the parable of the wedding feast, Jesus offers an image of the kingdom of
heaven using the symbol of a wedding banquet. In today’s first reading from the
prophet Isaiah and in today’s psalm, the Lord’s goodness is evident in the symbol
of a feast of good food and wine. Jesus’ listeners would have been familiar with
the image of a wedding feast as a symbol for God’s salvation. They would con-
sider themselves to be the invited guests. Keeping this in mind helps us to under-
stand the critique Jesus makes with this parable. The context for this parable is the
growing tension between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders in Jerusalem. This
has been the case for the past two Sundays and will continue to be true for the next
several weeks.
The parable Jesus tells is straightforward. The king dispatches his servants to in-
vite the guests to the wedding feast that he is planning for his son. The listeners
would have been surprised to learn that the first guests refused the invitation. Who
would refuse the king’s invitation? A second dispatch of servants follows. Again
to the listeners’ great surprise, some guests ignore the invitation. Some of the in-
vited guests even go so far as to mistreat and kill the servants. The king invokes
his retribution against these murderers by destroying them and burning their city.
We might stop here for a moment. Why would some guests kill the servants sent
to invite them to the king’s wedding feast? It might be possible that the king was a
tyrant, evidenced by the destruction of the city of those who refused his invitation.
But if we follow this idea, then the allegory seems to be about something other
than the kingdom of heaven. It is more likely that the destruction of the city would
have been a powerful image corresponding to the destruction of Jerusalem by the
Romans in A.D. 70, which would have been an important event for Matthew’s
audience.
With the invited guests now deemed unworthy to attend the king’s wedding feast,
the servants are sent to invite whomever they can find. The guests arrive, but it
appears that accepting the king’s invitation brings certain obligations. The guest
who failed to dress in the appropriate wedding attire is cast out of the feast. We
are reminded that while many are invited to the kingdom of heaven, not all are
able to meet its requirements. God invites us to his feast, giving us his salvation.
Yet he asks us to repent for our sins.
Jesus’ message in the parable cautions against exclusive beliefs about the kingdom
of heaven. The parable also teaches about humility. Those who assume that they
are the invited guests may find that they have refused the invitation, and so others
are invited in their place. To accept the invitation is also to accept its obligations.
God wants our full conversion in complete acceptance of his mercy.
