I can really identify with the master of this feast. Putting on a fabulous dinner for a crowd of people is expensive, time-consuming, and a great deal of very hard work. You struggle through a myriad of details to plan the perfect menu, arrange the furniture just right, provide for the comfort and entertainment of your guests, and then you get to clean it all up when the party is over. If you’re going to pay attention to all the details and extend your hospitality to those you invite, you surely don’t want an empty banquet hall when the dinner is ready. Personally, I agree with this host that RSVP(respond if you please) should be replaced with YBCOYMYCF (you better come or you miss your chance forever). God is the host of this feast and he bids us come and dine at his table. We need to lose the excuses and accept the invitation.
