The Inner Wedding Feast

Matthew 22:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 22 in context

Scripture Focus

2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew 22:2-4

Biblical Context

The parable presents a king's invitation to a wedding. Some guests refuse, while others are urged to come because all is ready.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scripture, the 'kingdom of heaven' is not a distant realm but the state of awareness you awaken into when you attend to your inner call. The wedding for the king’s son is your soul’s union with the authentic I AM, a spaciousness in which every need already exists as potential. The invited guests who refuse symbolize thoughts, fears, or identifications that say 'not now' or 'I am not worthy.' Yet the king’s message—behold, the dinner is prepared, the oxen and fatted cattle slain, come unto the marriage—speaks to the conviction that the feast is already laid up in your consciousness. When you persist in imagining the feast as real, you align with the readiness of grace and favor and invite the good that was always yours. The servants are your daily acts of attention, returning the invitation to your awareness until a steadfast sense of abundance, restoration, and harmony overtakes resistance. The key is obedience to the inner call: accept the invitation as if your deepest wish has already appeared this moment. In that inner acceptance, you awaken the feast in life and find redemption through the power of imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the inner king has prepared your feast and that you are fully invited. Dwelling in that felt sense, revise any 'not yet' thought to 'it is ready now' until it becomes your immediate awareness.
