In a round about way, I guess you could say he was announcing a birthday celebration. Traditionally December 25, but He's always around, so the date is flexible. In your heart. He'll be washing our clothes anyway. He said something about new white robes and crowns for everyone who stays till the last.
Admission is free.
He's already paid for everyone. He's one of those people who already has everything else. He must know ahead so he can reserve a spot for you at the table. Also, He's keeping a list of His friends for future reference. Friends, I invite you to accept the invitation to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior - Jesus.
