Many excuses
We have many excuses why we do not come before the Lord and share in his fellowship.
“But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’“Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’“Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ Luke 4:18-20
We are warned to not get so busy that we miss the invite to the great banquet.
He says ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ The invitation is loud and clear.

Need to reward and shorten…. Once Jesus was at the house of Martha, who obviously felt a great since of obligation with Jesus in her home, and thus was “distracted with much serving” (Luke 8:38-42 NKJV). But Mary, her sister, “sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.” Mary chose to stop and listen to Jesus’ instruction and the Lord, when encouraged by Martha to rebuke Mary, said she had “chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
“Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Luke 14:15
The invitation is for all to come to the banquet
