Words for today Thursday 25 February Jesus often used stories as a way of helping to explain to others what he meant. In Luke’s Gospel chapter 14 verses 15 – 24, Jesus tells the story of the Great Banquet. In the parable, He tells of a man who sent out invitations to come and share his meal. Sadly, they all said they could not come, giving very flimsy excuses. The host was angry but not put off. The meal was ready and he was not going to waste it. He asked his servants to go into the town and the countryside and invite ‘the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame’ (verse 21). The host was determined that ‘not one of those invited will get a taste of my banquet’ (verse 24). Jesus is inviting us to his Great Banquet. Whether we accept or refuse, the party will happen when Christ returns. Will you be present at the banqueting table or the one making excuses? Click on the link to read previous Words for today
