Jesus gives us a glimpse into the coming Kingdom of God -- it is to be a feast, one where we celebrate the presence of the Kingdom of God. It's a helpful reminder for us in the church -- how do we celebrate more, giving thanks to the risen Christ for transforming our lives and giving us a reason to hope? How can our lives be one long celebration of what Christ has done for us? God is good, and we are the recipients of so much goodness, so much grace. Jesus points out there that there is a time for mourning, and a time for fasting... we all know this reality. But joy will still come in the morning, and there is hope that breaks like the dawn!
