The Great Feast

This is the parable Jesus told about the rich man who decided to hold a great feast for all his friends. But when the time comes, everybody made excuses why they could not come. The host was furious so he opened his doors to anyone who was willing to attend, especially the poor or the ill, who were all delighted to be asked. His rich friends missed out. The moral of the story is that God welcomes everyone to heaven so long as they put God first in their lives.
