Matthew 22:1-14
And again Jesus spoke
to them in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a
king who gave a marriage feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those
who were invited to the marriage feast; but they would not come. Again he sent
other servants, saying, `Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready
my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come
to the marriage feast.' But they made light of it and went off, one to his
farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them
shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed
those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, `The
wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the
thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' And those
servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad
and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. "But when the king
came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; and
he said to him, `Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?'
And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, `Bind him hand and
foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their
teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen."

Imbitado kita tanan
ni God na makasuyod sa Ija gingharian pinaagi sa sambingay dinhi kuman mahitungod
sa kombete.
Waya’y Ija tagpili na
tag-imbitar kay lagi marajaw man Sija sanan mangginhatagon.
Pero an imbitasyon ni
God dato nanginahanglan ‘sab nan positibo na tugon na kinahanglan nan ato pagsunod
sa Ija mga regulasyon.
Sa imbitasyon ni God,
usahay mahamok pa an ato mga pasumangil para lamang kita makalikay na dili kita
maka-responde sa Ija tawag.
May mga tawo ‘sab na
moresponde man gani kan God, dili pa kon andam na mosuyod sa Ija presensiya kay
duro pa an mga tulubagon sa kinabuhi.
Sa ato kabahin, andam
ba kita na moresponde sa tawag ni God?

"Lord Jesus, may
I always know the joy of living in your presence and grow in the hope of seeing
you face to face in your everlasting kingdom."
