The Invitation

Luke 14:16-24

 

The Master sent out an invitation

For He wanted them to come.

But each one offered an excuse

And chose to remain at home.

 

The first had bought a plot of land

Another five pair of oxen

The third replied “I have just been wed,

I must beg the Master’s pardon.”

 

Jesus still extends an invitation

He offers it to all today

What will you do with His offer?

Accept it or turn it away?

 

I have accepted His invitation

Now I have a task to do

I must go and compel them to come

And give others His invitation too.

This sort of reminds me of Johnny Cash's song "When The Man Comes Around." It's ominous and forthright and spells a tremendous task. Great storytelling here.
