Comment and Suggestive Thought
V15. "One sat a. meat
One OF the guests who reclined az tbs
Pharlsee's table Heard these things.
Heard the promise which Christ had
made that those who prove their love
70 the poor BY making feasts for them.
shall be blessed az she resurrection q
the just" Blessed Is be. etc This
general remark. void Of force. showed
the mans heart was in no way touched
By Jesus preceding words. THAT shall
eat bread" To eat bread with a family
was. 70 an oriental. a matter Of deep
significance. Il embodied a strong
treaty Of friendship. Eat bread II the
kingdom Of God These words signi-
fed ones being AZ home In that king
dom. hence having a right 70 all its

VIC. said unto him" Jesus ad-
dresses the parable 10 the man whose
remark called il forth. "A certain
man He represents God the Father
Made a great supper" The gospel
tells US what God has prepared and Of
fers 70 men. ~Bade many" God in
vites all men TO come 70 this feast
II. Sent his 4rvant al supper
time" This was according 70 eastern
fashion Then that we're bidden.
Jews we're the first notified BY
prophets Of the coming feast. Come.
Tor all things are now ready" AT the
aime Jesus came. the world was pc.
cullarly prepared for him. and for
spreading the message which he
brought.
Wis. with one consent" With
accord and for one reason; that Is.
because they did not want 10 come.
Make excuse" Literally. to beg on.
Bought piece Of ground, see
g." He lived In the city and must go
out beyond its walls 10 see his farm.
This man is a type OF all who let their
property be a hindrance 70 their
coming 10 Christ
v. ls Five yoke Of oxen" This
number OF oxen was often used by
orientals for plowing. ITO prove
them" He would prove the oxen by
testing their strength. capacity fol
work and tractableness. This man is
a type Of those who let business cares
keep them from Christ.
v. 20. u have married a wife" The
Levitical law excused a newly-mar-
ried man from military duties (Deut.
24:5). He is type Of those who let
social pleasures OF the influence Of
friends keep them from Christ
V.21. Showed these things"
Reported how the invited ones had
treated his invitation. Being angry"
Nothing resembling what We call
anger Is to be found in God But his
loving heart is deeply grieved by the
treatment he receives from those he
1oves. and there are times when his
righteous indignation must become
manifest Go out quickly into the
streets and lanes" Streets" are the
larger thoroughfares which widen
into squares; lanes" are the small
cross-streets. Poor. manned, halt
blind" The poverty and distress of
a crowd that can be gathered from
the streets Of an eastern city. where
there are no hospitals or asylums. can
scarcely be appreciated by western
peoples.
" 22. 1T is done" Jesus was now
doing this very thing-inviting and
welcoming the people Of the lower
classes, even before he had been pub
licly rejected by the rulers at Jeru-
salem.
v. %. Highways and hedges" Be-
yond the city walls. This teaches that
Gentiles also are called to the feast Of
God Compel them to come in"
Better. as in Revised Version, Con
strain them" Urgently persuade
them.
wa Il say unto you" This is
Jesus application of the parable.
"None which were bidden" None who
refused the invitation. Shall taste Of
my supper" There is no way by
which those who reject Jesus Christ
may yet secure to themselves the
benefits Of salvation. The day Of
mercy will soon be past, and the
blessings now sighted can never be
recalled. To-day If ye will hear his
voice, harden not your hearts"
