he parable is an allegory filled with symbolisms. God is the king, Jesus is the son, heaven is the banquet, the servants are the prophets, and the first batch invited is God’s favourite, the Jewish people. The burnt city is Jerusalem, which at the time of Matthew’s writing, was already destroyed by the Romans. Salvation is always illustrated by a To refuse God’s offer is something that royal banquet in the scriptures. is really serious.

Domingo 29, Ord. Panahon (Taon A)
S“
inugo ninda saiya an saindang mga disipulo kaiba kan mga herodiano…” Kan makalaog na si Jesus sa Jerusalem, nagpuon na syang magtaram tumang sa mga pariseo. Kaya, nagplano sindang ipasupog si Jesus sa publiko sa paagi nin masakit na LECTIO DIVINA kahaputan. Sinugo an saindang mga disipulo tanganing, kun masimbagan ni Jesus, bako sinda mismo an mapasupog. Nagpasurog pa sa saindang mga kaiwal, an mga herodyano. Pàno ko susurugon an Simbahan sa siring kaining kaiwal?
“Tugot magbuwis ki Cesar, o bawal?” Marhay si pakamanso sa mga disipulo. Tinukduan ngùna sindang magbuladas, saka binutsan an masakit na hapot. ‘Iyo-dai’ sana an kasimbagan. An buwis na pinag-uurulayan iyo an buwis sa tawo. Lambang payo may babayadan na buwis. Makulog na gayo ini sa mga hudiyo. Urog kakulog huli ta an siring na buwis kinakamkam sana ni Cesar. Anuman na simbag ni Jesus, makakakua syang kaiwal. Pàno ako masabat sa siring na hapot kan mga kaiwal (e.g. gubyerno, midya, ibang relihiyon)?
“Kun siring, tàwan ki Cesar an ki Cesar, asin sa Dyos an sa Dyos.” An ki Cesar iyo idtong moneda na may tiltig kan lalawgon asin surat nya. Alagad, si Cesar, an saiyang mga soldados, an saiyang kahadian, an mga Israelita, an mga planeta, gabos ini linalang kan Dyos. Kun baga, saro sanang mutà an pagrugaring ni Cesar kun ikukumpara sa Dyos. Itao an moneda sa kinàban na malulusaw, alagad dai nanggad itao an buhay, isip asin puso saiya huli ta ini para sana sa Dyos na kaglalang. Pàno ko ipinapahiling na maimbod ako sa Dyos sa panahon na ini nin garadanan? 4
