Banquet! Now! ... Will you come?

Morning: Psalm 80; Joel 1:1-13; Revelation 18:15-24

Evening: Psalms 77, 79; Luke 14:12-24

Jesus’s invitations are urgent. Today’s parable invites us to a ‘banquet’, which is a metaphor for the Kingdom of God ... or life lived to the fullest. We may miss fullness of life while following what seem like more attractive options. Why the urgent invitation? Well, life is short. So, live well now. Will the invitation expire? No, but life will. Why waste a moment living in anything less than the fullest possible way? What will that be like? The banquet’s ‘menu’ is not all published. To find out what is on it, you must first say, ‘Yes! I’ll come!’
