"I can get behind this – this idea that the kingdom of God is like a new beginning for a beloved child, that the kingdom of God is like a feast – a new beginning that is made better, that is made blessed by the sharing of food and drink with the people who belong. I like this, I can endorse this. Yes, this is what the kingdom of God is like. And we know that you cannot have a feast by yourself. So the next question the parable asks us is – who is coming to this feast?
That’s where it gets complicated. "
