Text:
Luke 14:16-24 KJV
16 Then said He unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 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.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed 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.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 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.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
There are similarities, between this parable and that of “The Marriage of the King's Son.”
In Matthew's gospel, it was a story about a King.
In Luke's gospel it is a story about “a certain man.”
In Matthew's gospel, it was a story about the marriage of a King's son.
In Luke's gospel it is a story about a “great supper.”
In Matthew's gospel, and Luke's the first invited are the same.
In Luke's gospel, one had married a wife and could not come.
In Matthew's gospel, one went to his farm, and another to his land.
In Luke's gospel, one went to his merchandise, and another to his five yoke of oxen, and the last had taken a wife.
In Matthew's gospel, the Kings servants were killed, the King had the people killed, and their city burnt up. The King sent other servants into the highways to bid all, both good and bad to come to the marriage feast.
16 Then said He unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 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.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

21 So that servant came, and shewed 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.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 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.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

In Luke's gospel, the refused invitation, is not met with judgment, the servant has not been hurt, but the invitation has been opened up instead to the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind, out in the streets and lanes, the highways and hedges of the city.
In Matthew's gospel, we hear of the man without a wedding garment, and his judgment.
The spiritual truth of this parable is the same as the “The Marriage of the King's Son.”
God has planned a marriage and wedding feast for His dear Son.All have been called.
Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
II Peter 3:9 KJV
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.Revelation 22:17 KJV
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Have you accepted the Lord's invitation?
John 1;12,13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12,13 NLT
12 But to all who believed Him and
accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.
13 They are reborn—not with a
physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that
comes from God.
John 3:3,16,17,36 KJV
3
Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus),
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
36 He that
believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not
The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.9
Do
you have the wedding garment on?

We
Shall See The King
There’s a blessed time that’s coming, coming soon,
It may be evening, morning, or at noon,
The wedding of the bride, united with the Groom,
We shall see the King when He comes.
Chorus:
We shall see the King, we shall see the King,
We shall see the King when He comes;
He is coming in pow’r, we’ll hail the blessed hour,
We shall see the King when he comes.
Are you ready should the Savior call today?
Would Jesus say, “Well done” or “Go away”?
“My home is for the pure, the vile can never stay”;
We shall see the King when He comes.
Oh, my brother, are you ready for the call?
To crown your Savior king and Lord of all?
The kingdoms of this world shall soon before Him fall,
We shall see the King when He comes.
