Jesus told this story:
Luke 14:16-18, 24 (NIV)
A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, “Come, for everything is now ready.”
But they all alike began to make excuses . . .
Then the master told his servant, “I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.”
You’re invited to a feast. It’s the chance of a lifetime. Don’t miss it.
