What Do Our Excuses Say About Us? | Christ For You

Luke 14:15–24 | Trinity 2

A man prepares a great banquet. The invitations go out. Everything is ready.

And then everyone starts making excuses.

Why do people stay away from God? Are they really too busy, too tired, and too overwhelmed? Or is something deeper going on? Why does Jesus say the master becomes angry? What makes an excuse so dangerous? And if we’ve all made excuses, what’s the difference between those outside the banquet and those sitting inside?

Who are the poor, crippled, blind, and lame? Why does Jesus want you to see yourself among them? What does it mean that Christ not only invites sinners to His feast, but prepares the feast Himself through His death and resurrection?

This Trinity 2 sermon examines what really keeps people away from God and why there is no better place to be than at Christ’s banquet.
