Not what, But who!

Luke 14:16-24.

"Then He said to him, a certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ But they all with one accord began to make excuses... VS 16-18 A

How incredibly amazing is the invitation of coming into the kingdom... Think about it, the Lord of the universe, who mad heaven and earth, desires your presence at his table, now think of your favorite star or maybe famous role model, it seems impossible that they would ask you to dinner right? Well what if they did? Would you make excuses like: "I really can't, see I just got a new car, and I really want to drive it so, I'm sorry I cannot make it." would you really turn down an invitation to go to your favorite stars house? Not likely, why then would any one turn down an invitation from God? Those he asked first let their possessions, and things keep them from coming into the banquet of the king of kings, they let what they had keep them for coming into the presence of the king, I do not want what I have, what I hold on this earth to become more important or to hold value over an invitation to his presence. The excuses I read, they seemed ridiculous to me, and how could anyone turn down such an invitation? but we do... we look at the things we have, or at the tasks on our plate, and suddenly a banquet with the King of Kings the Lord of Lord's gets set to the side, or simple tossed away because I simple "I don't have time for that."

The time is now, He invites all, but only those who will accept His invitation, will enter into His kingdom. He invited the lowly, the poor those who had nothing holding them back from his invitation.

He sent his workmen to look for those who would come, he sent them with the command to first: "Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind" and when it was done. "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."

We are his servant, here to do the work of our master, He has sent us out, for this task, that we may send out the invitation, to all who are willing to come, tell of what the King has prepared for them, no matter their condition, what they look like, or their past, we are to simple go, and compel them to come, that his house may be full, our mandate is to fill the house of the Lord, to bring people to his Kingdom, some will turn down his invitation, but we must deliver it, be about the work of the master, for his banquet is set, His table ready, you have been given the charge as his workmen to bring those who desire to come, to come and enter into the kingdom.
