Parable of The Guests' Excuses Continued 4th Post Luke 14: 16 - 24.
The master of the house becomes angry and tells his servant "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 the servant said, "Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room."  Then the master said to the servant, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.  For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper."
The master becomes angry because his invited guests' had not cared enough to come to his supper.  God gets angry with us for the very same reason.  By turning down God's invitation, you are cheapening the gift of His Son for your Redemption.  This is quite serious.  Notice how Jesus treats these first group of guests';  He shows the master gets angry, we have explained why the master gets angry.  The master tells the servant to go out into the streets and find everyone you find there.  If Jesus was telling this parable today he would have included the homeless.  You need to remember that this was not the first group the master invited.  This group would have been the Church leaders and the well connected in the town where the master lived.  The master replaces this group with a much lower class of people.  What Jesus said at the end of this parable is quite alarming, "For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper."  Again I see I have run out of space again for this post, continued next post.
