Again he sent other servants, saying, \u2018Tell those who have been invited: Look, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready; come to the wedding banquet.\u2019 But they made light of it and went away, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. \u00a0The king was enraged. He sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.\u00a0Then he said to his servants, \u2018The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy.\u00a0Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.\u2019 \u00a0Those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding robe, and he said to him, \u2018Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding robe?\u2019 And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, \u2018Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\u2019 For many are called, but few are chosen\u201d (Matt 22:1-14).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is all or nothing with God. He sends out a \u201csave the date\u201d announcement for his son\u2019s wedding and expects us to get ready and come to the wedding feast of his Son when invited.<\/p>\n<p>But we are invested in other priorities \u2013 \u201cour\u201d properties and businesses. They are tangible. We can work them, build them, and depend on them. We identify with them. We possess them. They require our urgent attention.<\/p>\n<p>Ah yes, but here\u2019s the rub \u2014 Jesus is telling a story about the kingdom of heaven. That kingdom is ruled by the \u201ccapital K\u201d King, of course. This is no democracy. The King is sovereign over everyone and everything. \u00a0The King has servants of course, but in reality everyone is at the service of the King.<\/p>\n<p>We are not owners. We are stewards subject to the direction of the true owner, the King. It is an insult to refuse his invitation.<\/p>\n<p>We are without excuse if we do refuse him or seek to hoard the resources he entrusts to us for ourselves. It\u2019s his property and business and we must not presume that he does not know what is best for it or for us.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, I was talking with a friend, a successful physician, at the end of a church business meeting. He told me about the change that God had worked in his life. \u201cWhen I was in high school and college, I looked forward to making it into medical school. If I did that I would have what I wanted and be set for life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn medical school I thought, \u2018I am going to become a physician and make good money and have everything I want and need for life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I am the physician that I wanted to become and I realize that everything I am and possess including my income belongs to God. It\u2019s his, not mine, to do with as he pleases. I am OK with that.<\/p>\n<p>A woman overheard our conversation. She and her husband were notably ambitious for material success and worked very hard to achieve it. She could hardly believe what she was hearing from my friend.<br \/>\n\u201cBut Jeff she exclaimed, \u201cThink of all the good you can do with your money!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing is,\u201d he replied, \u201cit\u2019s not my money, it\u2019s his. And he decides how he wants it used.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My physician friend understood that Jesus is the rightful owner of our lives and livelihoods as our Creator, Savior and Lord. Our true treasure is his love for us. Our true capacity for good is our dependence upon him. Our responsibility for good is our obedience to him.<\/p>\n<p>The woman\u2019s interjection represents a real temptation that has existed since the Garden of Eden. We are right here and can see opportunities and needs all around us. Why wait for God, why not act now for righteousness and goodness.<\/p>\n<p>We can see what has to be done and nothing or no one should stop us from doing it. This viewpoint is compelling. It inspires political action and government policy. Wars are fought and lawsuits prosecuted with this thinking.<\/p>\n<p>The mob, in Jesus\u2019 story, sought to carry out this popular will by killing the King\u2019s servants who came with the announcement of the royal wedding and feast and the expression of the will of the King for them.<br \/>\nThe King says, \u201cCome to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest\u201d (Matt 11:28).<\/p>\n<p>The mob replies, \u201cWe are proud of our labor and own strength. We are wearing ourselves out for a good cause \u2013 our cause! Our burdens are our traditions, our way of doing things, our desires and consciences!\u201d<br \/>\nThe crucifixion of Jesus illustrates how this mob rule works in action, \u201cHe (Pilate) said to the Jews, \u2018Here is your King!\u2019 They cried out, \u2018Away with him! Away with him!\u2019 Pilate asked them, \u2018Shall I crucify your King?\u2019 The chief priests answered we have no king but the emperor.\u2019 Then he handed him (Jesus) over to them to be crucified\u201d (John 19:14-15).<\/p>\n<p>The problem with having it our way on earth is that eternal life is God\u2019s unique gift and finite humanity cannot replicate or manufacture it. When the mob kills off the King\u2019s emissaries and ultimately the King\u2019s son, it eliminates the possibility of escape from this doomed earth (John 3:16-18).<\/p>\n<p>Those that resist God and insist on doing things their own way pass judgment on themselves. They extinguish God\u2019s light leading them to his saving power in order to keep the darkness covering the truth that their own ways always lead to death in a sham, conspiratorial hope of freedom, equality and community (John 3:19-20).<\/p>\n<p>A freedom that does not deliver us into the light and love of an eternal God is no freedom. A community that is only an end in itself will quickly turn to the oppressive tactics of self-preservation. An equality that is not sourced in the unconditional love of God will be rotted out by the legalistic machinations of a powerful, guilt-manipulating elite.<\/p>\n<p>Only God can take us beyond limitations of death. Those who live and act in belief in him have no fear of his light (John 3:21).<\/p>\n<p>Jesus says the King will ruthlessly put down the rebellion that would mislead so many into following a futile and destructive cause, because the kingdom of Heaven is all about eternal life and those who will kill to maintain power have no place in it.<\/p>\n<p>But this King wants life and lots of it. He has prepared the banquet and he wants people to enjoy it. He sends out servants to cover the main streets and highways and indiscriminately invite as many as possible regardless of whether they would be classified as \u201cgood or bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And by \u201cbad,\u201d Jesus means the worst kind of sinners full of selfishness and malice. If they are willing to accept the invitation to the King\u2019s party, they get in the door.<\/p>\n<p>Dressing for a party is always important, and the King provides attire for all his guests. He covers them with beautiful clothes so that the guests know that everyone there is invited and wanted. By clothing his guests he eliminates the inevitable comparisons that war with grace.<\/p>\n<p>But one crasher decides his clothes are better than anything the King could offer. He gets in wearing his own bought-and-paid for clothing, no doubt congratulating himself on his sense of fashion and self-sufficiency.<br \/>\n\u201cThe King doesn\u2019t have to give me clothes. I earn the money to buy everything I wear. I am doing just fine for myself, and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\u201d Of course, that means he won\u2019t have it the King\u2019s way, either.<\/p>\n<p>The King is neither pleased nor amused. He spots the proud interloper and has him forcibly removed. The King\u2019s party is for those who want to be there and are willing to accept the King\u2019s hospitality on his terms.<br \/>\nJesus says the kingdom of heaven is like this story. You can, and should, read it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I have discussed the story this week because I find it very apt to the workaholic environment around me \u2013 friends and colleagues prioritizing jobs and performance over an intimate, steady relationship with Christ. Even successful ventures in the name of Jesus are <em>no<\/em> substitute for a relationship with him. The decision to accept his invitation is literally a choice for eternal life over death (Matt 7:21-23).<\/p>\n<p>I put business ahead of everything until I was exhausted and sad that everything I was working for wasn\u2019t enough. In that weary and grieving state, Jesus met me and began to teach me about grace and how to rest in him. It\u2019s been nearly thirty years, but it has been a good thirty years of learning.<\/p>\n<p>My work still gets done, but by his strength and initiative.<\/p>\n<p>And the mob that wants to force everything to its will and way &#8212; Listen to the news, it\u2019s out there more aggressive than ever. Just name the crisis, social, environmental, spiritual, or political, and God is blamed for it, or at least his followers are blamed.<\/p>\n<p>There is blame enough to go around. Christ\u2019s own followers have done their share of damage by attempting to force his will on the world, instead of waiting and watching for him to fulfill his purpose by sovereign grace and following the impulse of his love to serve in that fulfillment (Rom 8:28).<\/p>\n<p>In reality, those who seek to force God on the world through displays of power and coercion and those who seek to eliminate his rule by power and coercion are both driven by the need for control that is antithetical to his gospel of love and means of grace.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that the kingdom of heaven is a party open to all who accept the King\u2019s hospitality. Those too preoccupied or discriminating to accept, are left out. Those who insist on coming on their own terms end up outside.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, at the beginning, it is all or nothing with God. How is it between him and you?<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cO taste and see that the Lord is good. Happy are those who take refuge in him\u201d (Ps 34:8).<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Under the mercy of Christ,<\/p>\n<p>Kent<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Please note that the content and viewpoints of Mr. Hansen are his own and are not necessarily those of the C.S.
