Parable of the Great Supper and the Guests that Made Excuses and Did Not Come

The Parable of the Great Supper (Luke 14:16-24) contains important spiritual truth. The parable is about a man who made a great supper and invited his guests. But, all the guests made excuses and did not come to the supper. The man then tells his servant to bring the poor, maimed, lame and the blind to the supper. He also compels others to come to the supper. This parable describes the types of people who come into the kingdom of God. This parable provides much insight into the nature of salvation. 

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. (Luk 14:16-24)
