One of
those at table with Jesus said to him, "Blessed is the one who will dine
in the Kingdom of God." He replied to him, "A man gave a great dinner
to which he invited many. When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his
servant to say to those invited, 'Come, everything is now ready.' But one by
one, they all began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, 'I have
purchased a field and must go to examine it; I ask you, consider me excused.' And
another said, 'I have purchased five yoke of oxen and am on my way to evaluate
them; I ask you, consider me excused.' And another said, 'I have just married a
woman, and therefore I cannot come.' The servant went and reported this to his
master. Then the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant, 'Go out
quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and
the crippled, the blind and the lame.' The servant reported, 'Sir, your orders
have been carried out and still there is room.' The master then ordered the
servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my
home may be filled. For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will
taste my dinner.'"
Reflection:
Imbitado
kita tanan ni God sa Ija tagpa-preparar
na bangkete na an buot isapasabot, na kita tanan hatagan Nija nan luna na
maka-angkon nan heavenly kingdom Nija.
Pero jaon
ra ini dato kon ato hatagan nan importansiya an imbitasyon ni God para
maka-desidir kita na maka-kadto sa Ija bangkete kay may mga kaugalingon na man
kita na desisyon para sa karajawan nan ato pagkatawo.
Siyempre,
magmahay si God kon dili kita mo-responde sa pag-imbitar Nija para maka-desidir
kita na dili mokadto sa Ija tagpa-preparar na bangkete.
Kagustohan
unta ni God na mapuno an Ija panimayay nan mga imbitado Nija sa bangkete ugsa waya
na’y Ija pili kon sin-o’y Ija tagpa-imbitar sa Ija mga suluguon, bisan an dili
Nija kon mga kakilaya.
Amo ‘sab
kita jaon, tagpa-abot kita tanan ni God na maka-paningkamot na maka-kadto sa
bangkete na Ija tagpa-preparar.
Andam ba
kita na motubag sa imbitasyon ni God sa Ija bangkete?
