LUKE 14:21B-24

Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, “Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.” And the slave said, “Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.” Then the master said to the slave, “Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those who were invited will taste my dinner.”

My Father invites His chosen people to the Banquet but too many of them are indifferent. The children of God being caught up with worldly pursuits have closed their eyes and ears to God's call. Since those who were invited refused to come the Father extends His invitation to all people of goodwill.  Everyone is invited and all who respond are given a seat at the wedding banquet but not without the proper wedding garment, the baptismal robe that signifies that you have said yes to God's call. Unless you are robed in the garment of salvation you can have no place at the Table of Eternal Life.
