We will look at three Scripture references tonight. I
want to talk briefly to you about three suppers to
which all people are invited.
The first one is in Luke 14, beginning in verse 16
through 23. "Then said he (Jesus) unto him, A certain
man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his
servant at supper time to say to them that were
bidden, Come: for all things are now ready. And they
all with one consent began to make excuse. The first
said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I
must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and
I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And
another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
cannot come. (He was already henpecked, he didn't ask
for an excuse) So that servant came, and showed his
Lord these things. Then the master of the house being
angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the
poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And
the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
commanded, and yet there is room. And the Lord said
unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges,
and compel them to come in, that my house may be
filled."
That's the Lord's first supper invitation. It is the
invitation to the supper of salvation. It is extended
to "whosoever will." If you would like to be saved,
you can be saved. The Lord has painted a beautiful
picture here of what salvation is all about. He has
compared salvation to a great supper - a great
banquet.
When you come to the Lord Jesus Christ you are not
coming to a funeral, you are coming to a feast. The
devil has done a pretty good job convincing people
that if you come to Christ, all the fun of life is
over. Friend, your joy and your fun just began when
you come t ...
