The Rev. Geoffrey M. St.J. Hoare | Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost | 2008

Rev. Geoffrey St. Hoare

Is it possible that this story of the kingdom is what happens when the

kingdom of God is among us and so a story of what the world does to the one

who does not wear a masque for the ball as it were? And so in the person

whom the king casts bound into outer darkness is the one who sees the truth

and names it? Could the kingdom be present in the victim? If so, then the

way Matthew tells the story is no accident, no mere arrangement of the

material by subject. If it is the whole story that reveals the kingdom and

not a simple analogy then it becomes another prediction by Jesus of his own

passion.
