When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’” Luke 14:15-24 NIV 

Truth: "The time has come. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Don't make excuses because God doesn't need them, nor does He accept them. You'll never regret accepting Christ's invitation to His great banquet feast." - Hector Perez

 

PRAISE & PRAYER FOR THE INVITATION TO CHRIST'S BANQUET  
Holy Father, thank You for sending Christ Jesus to invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame who feel forgotten to come into Your banquet house, the Kingdom of heaven. Lord Jesus, I praise You for the day You sent a servant to Truslow street in Fullerton to tell me "there is still room in God's house for you." I joyfully accepted Your invitation and was carried by You to dine at Your table of delight. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today that Jesus wants me to invite to His banquet. Compel their heart to believe and accept His wonderful invitation in Jesus' mighty name.
