Everyone is invited

Jesus told about a man who prepared a great feast and invited many guests. But one by one, they all made excuses. I bought a field. I got new oxen. I am just too busy.

So the man told his servant, Go into the streets and bring in everyone you can find. The poor, the hurt, the forgotten. Then go out to the country roads and invite them all, until my house is completely full.

That is what the party of God is like. No one is left off the list. Not the kid nobody picks, not the new kid, not the different kid. Everyone is invited to the table of God. And people who follow Jesus make their own tables look like his.

Go out to the roads and country lanes, and invite everyone you find, so that my house will be full.

Luke 14:23

TomorrowThe stories become real life, starting with one boy and his lunch.
