"When one of
those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus
'Blessed is
the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.'"
Jesus responds to this
statement...by telling a parable about the kingdom.
"Come,
for everything is now ready."
"But
they all alike began to make excuses."
Think!
Do these excuses make
sense?
I bought a field. Who buys a field without checking
it out first?
I bought some Oxen. Who buys oxen without first
checking them out?
I just got married.
One
excuse as good as another, when one
doesn't want to go!
