I Do

Jesus replied with this parable:

“A man invited many to join him in a great feast. When the day for the feast arrived, the host instructed his servant to notify all the invited guests and tell them, ‘Come, for everything is now ready for you!’ " Luke 14:16 TPT

You have been invited to the wedding feast.

A place is set. Reserved by name.

The banquet made ready.

A garment prepared.

The Groom awaits your arrival.

Will you say, “I do.”

And come sup with the Lord?

Jesus replied with this parable:

“A man invited many to join him in a great feast. When the day for the feast arrived, the host instructed his servant to notify all the invited guests and tell them, ‘Come, for everything is now ready for you!’ But one by one they all made excuses. One said, ‘I can’t come. I just bought some property and I have to go and look it over.’ Another said, ‘Please accept my regrets, for I just purchased five teams of oxen and I need to make sure they can pull the plow.’ Another one said, ‘I can’t come because I just got married.’

“The servant reported back to the host and told him of all their excuses. The master became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go at once throughout the city and invite anyone you find—the poor, the blind, the disabled, the hurting, and the lonely. Invite them to my banquet.’

“When the servant returned to his master, he said, ‘Sir, I have done what you asked, but there’s still room for more.’

“So the master told him, ‘All right. Go out again, and this time bring them all back with you. Persuade the beggars on the streets, the outcasts, even the homeless. Insist that they come in and enjoy the feast so that my house will be full.’

“I say to you all, no one who receives an invitation to feast with me and makes excuses will ever enjoy my banquet.” Luke 14:16-24 TPT

Prayer

Lord,

I am guilty of making excuses as to why I can’t dine with You.

I repent for being distracted, busy, pre-occupied with other things.

I choose to lay it all down, and accept Your invitation.

Making myself ready through the invitation of Christ, I have found my seat.

Thank You for preparing a place for me.

What an honor! What a joy! To be invited to the wedding feast!

Clothed in righteousness through salvation!

In response to Your invitation, with all that is within me, turning my heart fully toward You, I say, “I do!”

Amen

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
