“A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many. When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, ‘Come, everything is now ready.’ But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves.”
Luke 14:17-18
How infinitely sad that our Father has prepared the ultimate feast for us and many are too preoccupied with worthless worldly things to come and be with Him. We cannot imagine the glorious experience that awaits us in His home. But some of us, instead of preparing our appropriate garments, prefer to work, work, work, or play, play, play, without thought for the eternal future that we all have to face one day. Although we are all invited to Heaven, we cannot get in if we are not fitly dressed in the clothing of salvation and the robe of Christ's righteousness (Isaiah 61:10).
Now if we’re sure we get to go to the feast, there’s another thing to consider: who are we bringing with us? Each person we know is a soul invited to the feast. If we notice someone refusing the invitation, do we take the time to pray for him or her? Do we stop and share our love?
