Come For All Things Are Now Ready
Then He said to him, “A confident man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited Come, for all things are now ready(Luke 14.16-17)
This verse gives us a great picture of the abundance of eternal life that God offers freely to humankind. He provides the fountain of living water to wash away the world’s sins. We come to His banquet table in Christ, and His mercy, grace, and forgiveness are made freely available to all who sit at His banquet table and enjoy an intimate fellowship with the living God. It is divine soul foodlike, an enriching nourishment for our spiritual life. The banquet is a promise of eternity with Him in heaven. He gives us the indwelling Holy Spirit who gives us peace to replace our anxiety, joy to replace our depression, power to overcome our sins, and overflowing favors for life and wisdom to make the right decisions.
Everything is now ready, all is being prepared, and man needs to accept this invitation. The apostle Peter describes it in 2 Peter 13 as such As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue Long before human beings ever thought about God, He thought of us and made ample provision for our salvation. His abundant provision means that we are welcome to come to His table and eat until we are satisfied. The wedding hall is open; nothing is lacking at this banquet; it is a perfect banquette that has reserved a place at the banquet, paid for by the blood of His Son, Jesus, for those who believe.
After you have experienced His goodness, would you invite others who are yet to be saved and say, “Come for all things are now ready?”
