Jesus promised His disciples a future feast in God's kingdom, declaring He wouldn't drink wine again until He drinks it new with them in His Father's kingdom. The prophet Isaiah described this eternal banquet as a celebration for all people where God will destroy death forever and wipe away every tear. This universal invitation is extended to everyone, though not all will accept it. The parable in Luke 14 illustrates how God invites the poor, crippled, and outcasts when others refuse His invitation. Securing a place at this table requires confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. We currently live between the cross and this promised celebration, called to live for a kingdom we cannot yet see.
