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 14:17-24

and I will give you rest.

1 Peter 2:2
3. The great feast: At the great feast, you will enjoy the
Bread of Life. You will be satisfied and you will be full
when you meet Jesus Christ. You will not need any other
kind of experience to satisfy you.
THIS IS THE BREAD which cometh down from heaven,
that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living
bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of
this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

exercised to discern both good and evil.

everlasting life.

will, let him take the water of life freely.

6. The great feast: At the great feast you will enjoy the
fruit of the Spirit. Because of the fruit of the Spirit

longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
