Luke 14, gives us “a great supper,” and a Divine invitation, “Come, for all things are now ready.” All provided, and all invited.
Chapter 15, shows us the guest—the prodigal.
“He arose and came,” and all is forgiven, and all forgotten.
Chapter 16, unfolds the misery of a man, who, though invited, did not come. He goes to hell, and sends up a message, saying,
“Don’t come here!”
Earth, heaven and hell are in these three chapters.
Dear children, may you heed this solemn warning and come while the invitation is still going out. Soon the word will be for you,
“None of those which were bidden shall taste of My supper.”
Then it will be too late for you to accept of God’s invitation.
Jesus has died on the cross; the whole work of redemption has been accomplished, and all that is left for you is to accept God’s offer of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
“All things are ready,” Come,
Tomorrow may not be;
O children, come; the Saviour waits
This hour to welcome thee!
