It’s all in the Tense

John Hebenton
John explores how Matthew 22:1-14, the story of the King and the wedding feast, is NOT a story about the nature of God and kingdom of Heaven. He suggests it is instead a critique of how Chief Priests and Jerusalem elite view the reign of God and their place in it
John invites people to:
- reflect on the ways are we like the ungrateful one who did not wear the wedding robe
- In what ways are we like chief priests and Jerusalem elite
- And what might we need to let go of to really join the party
