獲取軟件Daily Bible Reading – September 2023, God’s Saving Word: Wisdom預覽
September 15
Introduction
Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a wedding feast. Because the invited guests ignore the invitation, the king instructs his servants to gather people from the streets and bring them to the wedding hall.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 22:1-14
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 22:9
[The king said:] ‘Now go to the main streets and invite to the feast as many people as you find.’
Reflect
In the parable of the wedding feast, who is the king? Who is the son? What is your understanding of this parable? Verses 11‒13 mention a guest who was not properly attired, an indication that the guest failed to honor the king, an offense similar to those who ignored the king’s invitation. In what ways do you honor God? This parable may call to mind the description of the wedding feast of the Lamb as described in Revelation 19:5-10 which in verse 9 says, “Happy are those who have been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.”
Pray
Lord God, there are times when I may fail to honor you and act in ways that are not in accord with your will. Thank you for reaching out to me in love and inviting me to your wedding feast. Teach me to honor you and to reach out to others in love for the sake of your Kingdom. Amen.
Tomorrow's Reading
Matthew 22:15-33: The religious leaders seek to trap Jesus with their questions.
