WILL YOU BE PRESENT=AT THE BANQUET=OF THE LORD?



















WILL YOU BE PRESENT AT
THE BANQUET OF THE LORD?


At the END of time=
Jesus is GOING to SEND INVITATIONS
To attend HIS BANQUET


But what are you SAYING NOW?
Are you PREPARING to ATTEND?


“WHEN the time for the
Dinner came=he DISPATCHED his servants
To say to the INVITED:


'COME=everything is now ready'


BUT one by one=they ALL=
BEGAN to excuse themselves” Luke 14:17-18


Those who REFUSED=were NOT EVIL=
They had good reasons=just had things=
MORE INPORTANT than the Lord


They had livestock=that needed tending=
They had OTHER INVITATIONS=
Their life was just too BUSY


How about you?
Are you TOO BUSY for the Lord?


MAKE ROOM for the Lord=don't be
Too busy for the LORD'S BANQUET=
Make TIME=be there=BE PRESENT


“Because of my INTEGRITY=
You uphold me


And set me
In YOUR PRESENCE=forever” Psalm 41:12


“HOW can we THANK GOD=enough=
For you in return


For all the JOY we have
In the PRESENCE of our God
Because of you?” 1 Thessalonians 3:9


It doesn't matter how much
We ACCOMPLISH in life


It matters how much TIME
We HAVE for the LORD=
And how much LOVE we have=in RETURN


BOTH for God
And our NEIGHBORS


Human love is IMPERFECT
And MOST of us=don't come
By it NATURALLY


We need to CHOOSE=
To LOVE OUR GOD=the way
That he loves us=and CHOOSE
To LOVE our neighbors


Say YES to God=Say “YES” to
The invitation=
Spend TIME with our Lord and
Your neighbors=and by all means
LOVE THEM!


“There is a TIME
For everything-
And a SEASON=
For every activity
UNDER the heavens” Ecclesiastes 3:1


“SOW righteousness for yourselves
REAP the fruit
Of UNFAILING LOVE


And break up
Your unplowed ground


For it is TIME
To SEEK the LORD


Until he comes
And showers his RIGHTEOUSNESS on you” Hosea 10:12


It is TIME=to SAY YES
To the Lord


It is time to say to MASS
Or to church service


And PREPARE for an eternity
With the LORD=our God


LOVE is a GIFT from God for all
Of eternity=Will you be PRESENT=
At the BANQUET of the Lord?


In the names of Jesus and his MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
