“JESUS WEPT.”
Luke 14:12-14
Luke 14:15
Luke 14:16
Luke 14:16-23
BY THEIR OBSESSION WITH WORLDLY AFFAIRS, SOME WILL BE LOCKED OUT OF THE GREAT BANQUET.
Excuse #1: “I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.”
Excuse #2: ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’
Excuse #3 is the lamest of all: ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
Luke 14:21
Revelation 19:9
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control
And so the parable ends with the harsh reality: “None of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.”
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT HEAVEN.
Isaiah 25:6-9
Charles Spurgeon proclaimed: It is a glorious gospel – the feast is good. He is a glorious king – the Host is good. He is a blessed Savior – he is good. It is all good, and you shall be made good too, if your souls accept the invitation of the gospel which is given to you this day. “He that believeth… shall be saved: he that believeth not shall be damned.” “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” The Lord send his Spirit to make the call effectual, for his dear Son’s sake. Amen.
SOLI DEO GLORIA…To the Glory of God Alone
