But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses...Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’

This had to be, for me, one of your best gospel cycles yet! So It’s funny that you struggled on this, as it spoke to me in so many ways about joy and not bondage in our servitude, but even more so that the Banquet is a now thing and its reason to rejoice! With excitement we should share the invite to the feast, and not a heavy hand of judgment to compel them in.
Really solid brother!
I really get “filled” when I listen and study from your teachings!!! This one is no exception!! I’ve has so many question about this subject you taught on and you answered them all!!! You have such a natural way of keeping me interested and engaged!! The subject of the “banquet” has a new perspective for me!! It makes sense now!! Todah Rabah for all your time and energy you give to these teachings!!! Blessings to you, Mary, and your boys!!
