This weekend’s Gospel is Matthew 25:1-13. The gospel passage ends with 'Be ready!' True - but be ready for what? Surely the kingdom is about the 'have's' sharing with the 'have-not's'. The kingdom calls us to generosity and to compassion, not to selfish concealment of surplus goods and gifts. It would seem that the essential message of this gospel story is a call to hospitality and to the sharing of gifts. The kingdom is not meant to consist of the wealthy and the poor - all are to share so that all have enough. This is the challenge of this parable: God gives each person gifts to use for their own benefit but also to help others.
