“For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of My supper” (Luke 14:24).
This is a very solemn verse, for it tells us that if people have heard the gospel and rejected it, they will not have another chance after the Lord comes. There are some today, even some true Christians, who teach that after the Lord comes, those who have been left behind will have another chance. But this verse, and others as well, make it clear to us that there will not be another chance for those who have rejected the gospel.
Think how awful it will be, especially for some who have grown up in Christian homes, suddenly to realize that the Lord has come, and that they have been left behind because they were not saved. There will be no hope then, and they will know with certainty that they must face certain judgment. The thought of this ought to frighten everyone who is not saved, and also ought to encourage all true believers to tell others about the importance of being saved.
