What is the most amazing party you have ever been too? Perhaps it was a wedding or a birthday party or a special event for the holidays. Whatever it was – it pales in comparison to the dinner party we will attend in heaven!
If you think we will be bored – sitting on clouds listening to sermons in heaven – you have it all wrong! Heaven will be a joyous celebration! All of this world’s disappointments, sorrows, worries and trials will be completely gone. Heaven is a place of great joy.
Join me on this video as we discuss the parable of the Great Banquet from Luke 14. You are invited to the ultimate party!
Revelation 19:6-9 (ESV)
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
You have a seat at the table of the Ultimate Party.
Live like it!
Live with joy – defiant joy. Jesus said: “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
You have a great hope in a great God who loves you so.
Keep Walking with the King,
Courtney
Beyond grateful that He has overcome the world!
The line that struck me this morning was “there is a seat saved for you.” Right there at the banqueting table there is a place card with my name on it. Oh, thank you, Jesus for inviting me to the wedding supper. Yes, I am coming. What joy this gives me.
Beautiful. That verse in Rev19:9 is lovely and encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
COURTNEY,SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ON HERE AGAIN.I KNOW WE ARE SO MANY MILES BETWEEN US,BUT I FEEL GOD AND YOU IN MY HEART SO CLOSE,WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE TODAY THE MARRIAGE SUPPER.THIS BIBLE STUDY HAS HELP ME SO MUCH.EACH DAY MAKES ME FEEL CLOSE TO YOU,THE LADY’S THAT PUTS COMMENTS ON HERE I GET SO MUCH OUT OF THEM.SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE WE ALL ARE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER.FRIENDS IS WHAT I CALL ALL OF YOU.THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL OF THESE FRIENDS YOU HAVE GIVEING ME,THOUGHT THIS BIBLE STUDY!!!
Way to go Courtney, keep getting the gospel message out & planting seeds of faith to those who need to hear. Time is short!
Isn’t it thrilling knowing that we will be seated at this great wedding feast surrounded by our brothers & sisters in Christ, & that all are invited & can make that personal choice whether or not they will accept the invitation to be with Jesus forever on that glorious day.
That day will be an eye opener I’m sure, those who think they will be there but won’t make it (trusted in their own self righteousness) & those who didn’t think they would make it will be there. All it takes is a simple trust & belief in Christ, oh the mercy & grace of God! “All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
“All that the Father gives unto me shall come to me; and him that come to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37 Such a simple truth to trust & believe!
Great video! I like the beautiful lines you shared.
You are amazing Courtney…I’ve been a follower for a long time. The joy you share speaks volumes, you are such a light and are showing us how to do life amidst trials. Thank you!!!
