Knock Now Before the Banquet Begins || Luke 13:22-30

+When the heavenly banquet begins, many will want to enter but will be refused:  the time to knock on the door is now (vv. 22-25).

+ People will be welcomed to the banquet from all places and generations;  but there will also be many shocked to find Jesus reject them (vv. 26-30).

Takeaways

Our assurance of eternal life in heaven is a personal matter.  

There are some who claim Christ with their words but live a life in contradiction to those claims who will be rejected when they expect to enter heaven.

There is a day coming when the door of mercy will be closed.  Don’t presume on God’s patience.  

When God’s kingdom begins and we enter heaven, it will be a day of great rejoicing for the family of God.
