There will be a banquet;
The wedding feast of the Lord,
A reconciliation
As promised in His word.
And many will be invited
But they will refuse to attend,
Because other matters will grip the heart
Where distractions will be sent.
And there will be excuses
One upon the other,
Whether it’s property issues or marital requirements
Or commitments to be covered.
But the anger of the master
Will become aroused indeed,
Because the many invited to the great banquet
Refused to partake or to take heed.
So, the poor, the lame and crippled
Will be invited ultimately,
Whilst those who refused shall never taste
His banquet in eternity.
It’s those with a contrite heart
That realise their need for a Savior,
By accepting His sacrifice on their behalf
For salvation, and not their behaviour.
Our thoughts can be crippled
By fear and anxiety,
But Jesus says to those who labor
And are heavy laden ‘Come to Me’.
And without Christ we are poor
In the spiritual realm so true,
But God’s calling desires to make us rich
When we’re totally renewed.
This parable is a sober warning
That when idolatry grips the soul,
We neglect our greatest calling
To eternal life behold!
As we repent sincerely from the heart
For our indifference as well,
May the Lord grant us mercy
And rescue us from hell.

“Then He said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great supper and invited many…but they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.” Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’” Luke 14:16-20
