Today, I am reading and commenting on Luke 14-16.

I was reading the Parable of the Great Banquet and realized that every sermon I have heard preached about it, and everything I have seen written about it misses the main point.  I have always thought that the feast described in it is Heaven, that we will go to this feast after our earthly death.  Which brings up the question, who would decline going to heaven?  Oh, I have heard explanations, but it struck me today that they miss Jesus’ point, that we miss Jesus’ point.  Our reward for doing God’s will, the feast is doing God’s will.  Every time I pass on an opportunity to share God’s word, I am doing what the invited guests in this parable did.  Every time I pass by an opportunity to help someone in need, I am doing what the invited guests in this parable did.  When we see those who are struggling helping others, we are seeing someone else eat God’s feast.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
