prophecy Of Isaiah Ny sell beloved

made & wine press therein and he
looked that should bring forth
grapes What could Haye been done
more To my vineyard than have
not done TN itr Wherefore. when
looked chat IL should bring forth
grapes, brought Ii forth wild grapes
God said | will take away the hedges
destroy the vineyard and those
unfruitful vines God has done every
thing In this provision for the lost
world Christ has told us In my ia
theirs house are many mansions If
It were not SO. | would have told you
go TO prepare a place for YOU. And
If | 20 and prepare a place for You. !
will come again. and receive YOU |
unto myself. that where | am. there |
va NAV be also i little later. Just |
before His Life went out on the |
cross. Christ said, 1T is finished !
What was finished The great work |
Of redemption. and Jesus on the cross
gave utterance to this truth. This
provision is complete but there is
one thing God won't do and that is
He won't force you into the king
dom: He will not make you come in
and eat of the supper. You can ac-
cept or reject the invitation as YOU
choose. This is your high perogative
Look AT the way men treat the in
vitatiou of God, They all with one
consent began to make excuse It
seems they had entered into a sort
OF conspiracy that they weren't GO
ing Notice the word excuse is used
not the word reason. Our excuses are
not reasons Notice these excuses,
how flimsy they were, Yet they are
about the average excuse that is be
ing made today for rejecting God
Here We have given us only three
excuses that were offered. but |
take il that these are representative
. excuses Of all those which were
made One said, 4 have bought a
piece Of ground and / must needs
go and see il. I pray thee have me
excused Now he had already bought
the land and yet he must be SO busy
IA
not accept an invitation TO the sup
per Another said, j have bought
five yoke of oxen, and | go 10 prove
them ! pray thee have me excused.
J want 10 try them and see If they
will work This excuse Is just as
nimsy as the excuse of the first man
He had already bought the oxen and
De- should have tried them be
fore be- bought them ur bet the trial
alone till after the supper The third
mau said . have married wife
and therefore { cannot go Now
these threc excuses represent ti,
class of excuses that people urge to-
day for not doing their duty. as the
Lord would iar b. upon their hearts
