Luke 14:15-24; Isaiah 25:6-8

The Parable of the Great Banquet is Jesus opening the doors to everyone.

After being invited to dinner by a group of Pharisees, Jesus answers their

question on who’s in and who’s out in his new kingdom. Drawing from

Isaiah’s messianic banquet prophecy 700 years earlier, Jesus redeclares

God’s desire for everyone to be included. That means you too!
