All Things Are Ready

"Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage."  Matthew 22:4.  The king had already sent his servants to invite the guests, but the invitation is refused.  God's invitation is refused by many.  The king sends other servants, and the invitation is given to others. Even when the invitation is refused, heaven continues to invite.  The refusal by many to attend the wedding feast does not hinder God from inviting others.  This is an invitation to the kingdom of God.  This is the greatest feast that will ever be given.  Here is an honor extended to sit with the King.  The king says that all things have been prepared.  Has not God done everything for the salvation of the human race?  A Savior has died.  Cleansing blood has been shed.  Heaven has received the sacrifice which has been offered.  Christ has become the Mediator between God and man.  The whole plan of human redemption has been secured.  The invitation has gone throughout all the lands.  Will you not come?
