“And they all with one consent began to make excuse …” Luke 14:18

The ridiculous excuses given by those who had opportunity and invitation to attend the prepared feast, not to attend, revealed many things about them. It is an example of those who profess religion, yet have no heart for the gospel.

The first thing revealed about them was, they had no appetite for the food prepared, which is Christ. They had no taste for the gospel. Having never really eaten of His flesh and drank of His blood, they had no life in them for Christ. Another thing revealed about them was their priorities. Their hearts were fixed upon the things of the world, the flesh. Their first love was the satisfaction and gratification of their lust of the flesh, the eye, and pride in themselves and their possessions. Even though they were bid to come to this delightful banquet and feast with the Master, their carnal cravings made earthly things more important to them and forbid them coming.

Their words and actions revealed their love for the world was greater than their love for God; “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Their stupid, ridiculous excuses reveal an ungrateful, unthankful, hard, cold, calloused heart toward one who is worthy of all love, respect, honor, praise and glory. All those who casually esteem the glorious gospel of Christ and classify it somewhere below the top of their list of priorities in the attending of it will inevitably “with one consent began to make excuse …”.

I would be remiss if I did not direct our attention to the Master of the feast and His feelings in this matter; “Then the master of the house being angry …”. He here distinguishes those who dine with Him from those who don’t; “For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of My supper” (verse 24). And in Luke 14:26, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.”
