20171107 Gospel Lk 14:15-24

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?
