Limerick

A man once gave a wedding feast
He invited many guests to the least
But when they refused his call
He sent out servants all
And said, “Come, for all things are ready!”

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Matthew 22:1-14 is to remember that Jesus’ parable in this passage emphasized two main points: to prioritize God’s kingdom, and to be willing to accept those who are different from us. In our daily lives, we can focus on growing closer to God by actively engaging in prayer, reading scripture, and participating in church services or other spiritual activities. We can also strive to build bridges with those who are different from us by being intentional about having meaningful conversations and listening for understanding. Finally, we can practice loving our neighbors as ourselves by thinking of ways to serve them out of genuine care. Practicing these things will help create a reality that reflects the King’s invitation in Matthew 22.
