Luke 14: 12-24 talks of a banquet prepared. There were many people invited and when the feast was ready a servant was sent to gather those invited. Most of them had excuses at that time though and did not come. The owner of the house was angry and told the servant to go find the poort and needy, bring them in for the feast. Though they came there was still more room. The servant was told once more to go out this time to the highways and find anyone who wants to come. The owner also stated that those who had originally been invited will not get to enjoy the feast at all.
Initially I think of the pharisees and the Israelites because they were Gods people. Yet they often turned from him. Also this may relate to believers who though they have pledged to follow God are reluctant when He gives them direction. There are too many things to do, other priorities and God will understand, so they figure. Or I am having too much fun, or that would be no fun are some of the thoughts that may run through our mind.
What is the consequence for this inaction? See the story above.
