What a prediction here of the suitableness of the gospel to all the world, and of the ultimate inclusion of all mankind under one roof
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
One Gospel fits all
One Savior is powerful enough to save all
Luke 14:16–24 (KJV 1900)
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.
1. There was an invitation given
2. There was a Servant commanded
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
3. There were servants Preparing
“...Come; for all things are now ready.”
Children’s clubs
Cleaning
Preparing
Studying
The Lord invites servants to help
4. There were excuses made
People still make excuses about why they can’t come
Money
Business decisions
Relational problems
People still struggle with these things today
People are still putting their desires above the masters plans for their life
Couldn’t the master have helped in each of these situations?
My heart hurts for those who reject Christ
5. The One’s the Master Invited
“...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.”
We don’t invite people not to help build this church, we invite so they can be adde to the Kingdom
6. The Master’s Purpose
vs. 23 ...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.
God wants heaven filled
Jesus died so that all could be saved
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
He cannot abide happily with the rest, while one sheep is liable to be torn by beasts of prey or caught away by eagles.
lost coin
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Oh, that we were all more willing to go down on our knees to sweep the floor to find the lost! The nine links of a necklace are useless if the tenth is missing. Christ cannot be satisfied until the lost coin is found.
There is room at the master’s table

7. The future of those who refuse
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Contemporaneous with the fall of Babylon will be the marriage of the Lamb. Before He assumes, together with His saints, the task of governing the world, the union of supreme love will have been consummated, and the marriage supper will have been filled with guests.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Whether you believe it or not there is a Heaven and there is a Hell
Those who say no to Christ in this life will be in hell in eternal life
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
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:
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Are you in the kingdom work
Are you interested in kingdom building
Are you praying for anyone that they will be in church with you ?
Are you a disciple of Christ?
I received Christ at the age of 10
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Praying that we will give of our life sacrificially so that young people to be saved
