A Year in Luke/ActsNäide

Many Jews hopefully anticipated the Messianic banquet, and we see it referenced throughout Luke (see Luke 12:35-48), including here in verses 15-24. In this passage, we see that “the excuses of life were the very things that kept the invited guests from participating in the feast. The availability of the kingdom was realized in the ordinary daily places of life.”1 Their reasons for being unable to come either show a rude disinterest or foolish decision-making. We have no excuse to not receive Jesus as our Messiah. Consider this question today: We know that the kingdom of God is truly good, yet why do so many reject it?
