No XQz

Luke 14:15-24

At the core meeting last Sunday, Bro. Mark shared with us the story in Luke about the parable of the Great Supper. Several were invited to join the great supper but everybody gave an excuse. One bought land, another had oxen, and still another got married. The master became angry and instead called on literally anyone on the streets. He even said none of his invited guests would taste his supper.

As we dug into the truth of these verses, something stuck me like lightning bolt: Valid excuses do not count. God despises excuses. I suddenly thought of all the many excuses I had before which seemed to me as valid at that time. It was not acceptable. I felt sorry. Thank God for speaking to me that day.
