The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 106

And when one of them that sat at  meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that  shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Then said he unto him, A certain  man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper  time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now  ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first  said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and  see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought  five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So  that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of  the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the  streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the  maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is  done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said  unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them  to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none  of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. (Luke 14:15-24) 36  Now, we see, when God gives a man an invitation, and to do something,  or to receive the invitation that He’s given him, and he returns it  down, then there’s nothing left, after mercy is spurned, but judgment.  If you step over the boundaries of mercy, then there’s only one thing  left, and that is judgment. And we find that man has done that in all  ages. It’s happened, most every age, in the Bible. 37  When God sent Noah, His servant, and made a way of an escape for all  the people who wanted to—to be saved. But the people only laughed and  scorned at Noah. But God made the way, but they had an excuse. It wasn’t  according to their—to their modern thinking. It didn’t…It wasn’t the  way they wanted it, so they made excuses in the days of Noah. 38  They made excuses in the days of Moses. They made excuses in the days  of Elijah. They made excuses in the days of Christ. And they make  excuses today. 39 Now, Him  speaking directly to Israel, the ones that was called to the feast, that  I would also apply today to men, the church, who has been bidden to  come to the feast, and won’t do it, the spiritual feast of the Lord. And  they won’t do it. They don’t want to do it. They’ve got other things to  do. They find excuses. 63-0630e - "Is Your Life Worthy Of The Gospel?" Rev.
