- S. V.P.
We see these letters (from four French words) on invitation cards asking us to send a reply. In the time of Jesus, two rounds of invitations were issued: firstly, when the event was decided on; secondly, when everything was ready and the time for it was ‘now’. In-between-times, the guests could make arrangements to attend.
The parable guests who decline to come are too busy about their work and businesses – too busy
to make time and space for a better option. Thei good interests block out their best interests. We can be so caught up in the affairs of life that we forget the heart of life itself.
