14 “Many get
invited; only a few make it.”
FOCUS: The Great Feast is for those who are receptive and ready.
INTRODUCTION: “God’s offer is for all, and, in a very real sense, is specially sent to the worst, just as the doctor goes first to the most severely wounded. So the motley crew, without the least attempt at discrimination, are seated at the table. If the Church understands its business, it will have nothing to do in its message with distinctions of character any more than of class, but if it makes any differences, will give the outcast and disreputable the first place in its efforts. Is that what it does?” ~ Alexander Maclaren
