God has sent open invitations to the heavenly banquet, but some make flimsy excuses and don’t attend, displeasing the Lord. Nevertheless, the Lord is persistent and desires that none should perish but instead make it to the heavenly banquet. God continues to send out more invitations; many attend, but one fails in presentation, being unprepared and is cast into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Are you ready? “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
