14:15 同席的有一人聽見這話，就對耶穌說：「在上帝國裡吃飯的有福了！」
14:16 耶穌對他說：「有一人擺設大筵席，請了許多客。
14:17 到了坐席的時候，打發僕人去對所請的人說：『請來吧！樣樣都齊備了。』
14:18 眾人一口同音地推辭。頭一個說：『我買了一塊地，必須去看看。請你准我辭了。』
14:19 又有一個說：『我買了五對牛，要去試一試。請你准我辭了。』
14:20 又有一個說：『我才娶了妻，所以不能去。』
14:21 那僕人回來，把這事都告訴了主人。家主就動怒，對僕人說：『快出去，到城裡大街小巷，領那貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的來。』
14:22 僕人說：『主啊，你所吩咐的已經辦了，還有空座。』
14:23 主人對僕人說：『你出去到路上和籬笆那裡，勉強人進來，坐滿我的屋子。
14:24 我告訴你們，先前所請的人沒有一個得嘗我的筵席。』」
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”

人總是看中眼前的利益和榮耀，卻忽略了永恆的且寶貴的榮耀，尤其上帝要給我們的！
很多時候，我們寧可花時間在次要的事上，卻沒有有花時間在最重要的事！什麼是最重要的事呢？就是來親近主耶穌，享受上帝的同在！
天父上帝吩咐我們：「將心歸給我！」
我們有將心歸給上帝嗎？
