Memorize: Revelation 19:9
« Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb! »
Read: Luke 14:15-24
While Jesus was having a meal at the home of a Pharisee, He told one of the guests this story: “There was once a man who invited many guests to a great feast. When everything was ready, he sent his servants out to tell the guests, ‘Come to the banquet. Everything is ready.’ But those who were invited each had an excuse.
The first man said that he had just bought a field and needed to go look at it. The second man said he had bought some oxen, which he needed to try out. The next man said he had just got married and therefore couldn’t come.
So the servants went back and told their master that no one would come. The owner of the house was angry and said to his servants, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and country roads of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’“
Why would someone not want to go to a feast?
If you were invited to a friend’s party, would you think up a silly excuse not to go? Yet many people come up with all sorts of excuses for not accepting God’s invitation to the greatest celebration ever—in heaven!
Some don’t believe in God (or in heaven) and so they don’t believe that there is going to be a feast.
Some are just too busy. One man had bought some property; another was busy (at work) wanting to try out his new oxen.
Some are afraid of upsetting their family and friends. One man had just got married and didn’t want to risk a disagreement.
Invitations to the great feast in heaven have been sent out, and your name is on one of them: Jesus has invited you to come. When it is time and everything is ready, will you be there?
Study question:
1 – Explain in details what the requirements are to be admitted to Heaven.
2 – On the Day of Judgment, will you go to Heaven?
