What's Your Excuse?

Luke 14:18a " And they all with one consent began to make excuses".

There is a great dinner being prepared, and many are invited. Now it is not just for the rich and privileged, no everyone is invited. It is a feast and the Lord is calling the poor, maimed and the blind,  and the Lord has sent His servant to call all; to come for all things are ready and yet many have begun to make excuses.
.
We are unworthy to eat at the table of the Lord; We are born in sin and shaped in iniquity. We are a vile sinful creature and yet the Lord is calling all who will hear to come for all things are ready. He has sent His son, to clean us and dress us that we might be worthy to feast on food divine, and yet many are making excuses as why we can't come. The invitation is extended and many have yet to RSVP because of the cares of this world. Many have put the things of this world before their need for salvation. Today is the acceptable day of salvation, when you hear His voice harden not your heart. There will come a day when you want to hear a word from the Lord and there will be none, seek the Lord while He might be found.

Many believe they have all the time in the world to give their lives to Christ, so they have many excuses which keeps them outside the ark of safety. God is longsuffering, but He will not be mocked; for the Lord said "that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper".
