Knowing God - He Wants His House Filled

Luke 14:23

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.


Jesus is giving us insight into the Father’s heart.  He wants His house filled.  He desires fellowship with His creation.  He actually uses the phrase ‘compel them to come in’.  Tell people it is absolutely necessary to come in.  The Lord is willing that no one should perish but that ALL should come to everlasting life.  He wants His house filled.  This gives us a great understanding of our Father’s heart towards all the people around us.  As we urgently encourage people to believe upon the Lord Jesus that they may be saved, we must remember that we are in His will and being in line with His heart as we go to the highways and hedges, compelling people to come in.  The Lord has done the work of reconciliation.  He has given us the word of reconciliation.
