“A certain man gave a great supper and invited many; sending his servant at supper time to say to those who are invited, “Come, for all things are now ready.” But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, “I’ve bought a piece of ground, I must go and see it; I ask you to have me excused.” And another said, “I bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m going to test them; I ask you to have me excused too.” Another said, “I’ve married a wife and therefore I cannot come.” So the servant came and reported things to his master. And the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and the lanes of the city, and bring here the poor, and the maimed and the lame and the blind.” And the servant said, “Master, it is done as you have commanded, and still there is room.” And the master said to the servant, “Go out in the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.” (Luke 14:15-24)
In this parable Jesus is talking about a man who had a feast and invited all these people who all had all kinds of excuses so none of them came. That was why he sent out the invitation to all the hurting and the lame. Do you know that most people judge the Christian faith by the Christians that they know? Most people see Christians as judgmental and narrow-minded people who don’t believe anyone’s going to Heaven except them. You know, a person has until their last breath of life to change, to repent. They have until their last minute of life to have a chance to turn to Jesus.
So many people carry a face that says things are all right. So many people wear a face of pretense. So many people are hurting inside. So many people have no direction, no life purpose and no joy in life. You hold the fountain of joy. You hold the answers. It’s really easy. All you need is to tell about Jesus!
God Bless!
