THE THREE EXCUSES

What stopped the wedding guests from responding to Jesus’s invitation to the table of encounter? Pondering their excuses provides us a window of revelation that we cannot afford to miss if we are to be prepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb in the days ahead.

The dinner guests made three excuses for why they were not present at that table: (1) a piece of land, (2) five yoke of oxen, and (3) a wife.

What is so evil about a piece of land, five yoke of oxen, and a wife?

The answer is profound: NOTHING!

There was nothing inherently evil about their excuses. That issue opens a revelation to us as Jesus’s Consecrated Bride that we desperately need in this generation!

As we go deeper in God and journey into the depths of who He is, He no longer just comes after our sin stuff. He actually requires the good stuff!

When the message of repentance and consecration goes forth in most churches, many Christians are checking off their religious lists to make sure they haven’t committed any “big” sins that are keeping them from going deeper in God. In this parable, Jesus is actually laying out profound revelation to the Consecrated Bride who will dine at His table of encounter and the marriage supper of the Lamb!

He is declaring, “There is a realm of encountering Me and understanding the fruit of My rewards that will swallow up all our excuses. The good gifts that I have given you just cannot be turned into gods any longer.”

This is a real paradigm shift for the Consecrated Bride. We are no longer just allowing the Holy Spirit to convict us of the sin that separates us from God; we are constantly and continually sacrificing the good things of this life in order to enjoy the legitimate pleasures of heaven.

Bill Johnson puts it this way: “Many Christians repent enough to get to heaven, but few people repent enough to experience heaven on earth.”

In other words, how deep are we willing to allow the Holy Spirit to search us so that we might experience all that God has prepared for us on this earth?
