05.11.2013 INVITED

GOSPEL READING: LUKE 14:15-24

None of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.

Jesus has been going around Galilee summoning people to God’s great supper. The time has arrived. Those who were invited long ago must hurry up and come. Most of the have refused giving excuses. Some are delighted to be included and they are the poor and the sinners. This could be one meaning.

There is another meaning to this parable and in this meaning the expected guests are the Jews. They were waiting for the arrival of the kingdom. But when the kingdom was among them they were giving excuses. Those who accepted at the time of Luke were the early Christians.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 14:15-24

அழைக்கப் பெற்றவர்களுள் எவரும் என்னுடைய விருந்தைச் சுவைக்கப் போவதில்லை என உமக்குச் சொல்கிறேன்|

இந்த உவமை பல பொருள்களைக் கொண்டிருக்கலாம். இது யூதர்களுக்குப் பாடமாக இருந்திருக்கலாம். இயேசுவின் போதனைகளைக் கேட்டு திருந்தாதவர்களுக்கு பாடமாக இருக்கலாம்
