LISTEN: The Work You Should Be Doing Until Jesus Comes, Part 2 (Second Coming Chapel with Daniel Whyte III)
Daniel Whyte IIITEXT: Luke 14:15-24
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
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.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

The Work You Should Be Doing Until Jesus Comes, Part 2
In this passage, Jesus has been invited into the home of one of the Pharisees for a Sabbath day meal. Being who He was, Jesus was not content to simply eat and fellowship with others. As He always did, He seized the opportunity to challenge His audience’s thinking on the nature of the Kingdom of God. First, He rebuked them for the hypocrisy they showed in criticizing Him for healing on the Sabbath. Then, He rebuked them for the pride they show in always seeking the highest places to sit when they were invited to feasts. Third, He rebuked them for their false hospitality in inviting only the rich and famous to their meals because they knew they would get something in return.
Finally, He delivers the parable in our passage today as a way of demonstrating how, at God’s heavenly banquet, the “deserving” people who were invited will be shut out due to their own foolishness and ingratitude, and those who are deemed “undeserving” will be invited in, will accept that invitation, and will take part in the heavenly banquet, which is representative of eternal salvation.
As Christians today, we see our role in this parable as that of the “servant” whom the Lord commands three times to “go out” and invite people to the feast. In verse 17, the Lord tells his servant to go out and “say to them that were already bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.” This invitation is for those who already know that the feast is being prepared. They were informed about it ahead of time. They got, in a manner of speaking, the early-bird discount. These early-birders are representative of the Jews in Jesus’ day as the Messiah came to them first after his arrival had been predicted for centuries by Hebrew prophets.
However, many of the Jews rejected the invitation to enter the Kingdom of God because Jesus did not look like the Messiah they wanted. They began to give all manner of excuses for why they could not attend the Lord’s banquet — one man had just gotten married, one man had bought a pair of oxen and needed to go prove them, another had bought a plot of land and wanted to go inspect it. However, as R.C. Sproul notes in his commentary, “The excuses are transparently dishonest. No one buys a field or oxen without prior inspection, and if anyone did, there was no hurry—the field and the oxen would be there tomorrow. The man who had married might cite Deuteronomy 24:5, but that freed a man from military service, not social contacts.”
Yet, that is what people do today when presented with the invitation to come to Jesus. They make excuses for why they cannot believe the Gospel. Some are trying to build their career. Others want to get their education. Some want to get married and start a family before they return to the church. Others want to pursue money and material gain and think they don’t have time or space for the Gospel.
Despite the excuses that many make for their refusal to believe, as servants, we are commanded to go out in the world with the invitation to come in from the world and into the kingdom of God. We must not let the excuses of others deter us from consistently saying to those in the world, “Come, for all things are now ready.”
Daniel Warner wrote:
Where art thou, wand’ring sinner?
What is thy portion tonight?
Bound in the fetters of Satan,
Oh, will you return to the light?
Lost in a barren desert,
Dark is the kingdom you roam;
Sinner, there’s danger foreboding,
Oh, flee, for there’s safety at home.
No peace within thy bosom,
No lasting comfort you know;
Come, then, to love’s peaceful dwelling,
Where fountains of happiness flow.
Mercy is calling, sinner,
Jesus has suffered for thee;
He’ll bring you home to the Father,
Where there is a welcome so free.

Now, if you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, I urge you to trust in Him because He is coming again and you do not want to be left behind. Here is how you can place your faith and trust in Him for Salvation from sin and the consequences of sin.
First, accept the fact that you are a sinner, and that you have broken God’s law. The Bible says in Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
Second, accept the fact that there is a penalty for sin. The Bible states in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death…”
Third, accept the fact that you are on the road to hell. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:28: “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Also, the Bible states in Revelation 21:8: “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Now that is bad news, but here’s the good news. Jesus Christ said in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Just believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead by the power of God for you so that you can live eternally with Him. Pray and ask Him to come into your heart today, and He will.
Romans 10:9 & 13 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead, and you want to trust Him for your Salvation today, please pray with me this simple prayer: Holy Father God, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. I am sorry for my sins, and today I choose to turn from my sins. For Jesus Christ sake, please forgive me of my sins. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for me, was buried, and rose again. I trust Jesus Christ as my Savior and I choose to follow Him as Lord from this day forward. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen.
If you just trusted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, I declare to you that based upon the Word of God, you are now saved from Hell and you are on your way to Heaven. Welcome to the family of God! Congratulations on doing the most important thing in life and that is receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. For more information to help you grow in your newfound faith in Christ, go to Gospel Light Society.com and read “What To Do After You Enter Through the Door.” Jesus Christ said in John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
God loves you. We love you. And may God bless you.

This isn’t as much a book about giving thanks as it is about living thankfully. Not the words of thanks which are cheap and usually insincere, but the attitudes and the actions, the thoughts and the behaviors, the intentions and the perceptions. This type of gratitude is what helps us to determine whether we look and live on the bright side of every encounter in life.
Through the early morning traffic, the spilt milk and the frequent coffee runs, to the annoying co-workers and the frustrating workload, to the aching head and tired feet dragging through dinner, through homework, to bed at the end of the day, this book is about embracing all those parts of life that we mostly endure when we could really enjoy.
THANKS and YES is a daily call for us to stop rushing through life and start appreciating life, embracing situations as lessons or blessings, and saying yes to every God-sent opportunity.

LISTEN: The Story of Jesus Casting Out Many Devils and Healing Many Who Were Sick, Part 3 (Just Jesus Evangelistic Campaign, Day 602 since Jan. 20, 2017 / Day 969 since Jan. 1, 2016 with Daniel Whyte III)
Daniel Whyte IIITEXT: Matthew 8:14-17
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
——-
This passage shows that Jesus took demon-possession seriously and we should take it seriously as well.
According to Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology: “Throughout Jesus’ life we see his work against the devastating work of demons in the lives of people. The vocabulary of demonic activities against human beings is rich and varied, though it all shows movement toward the ultimate destruction of people. Throughout the gospel accounts, [evil] spirits evidenced control over human hosts. Several terms are used to describe this. Jesus warned in a parable of the possibility of multiple demons living in or indwelling a person. Evil spirits were in the demoniac in the synagogue; the Gerasene demoniac was a person who was with an [unclean] spirit that drove or impelled him.
“People who have demons are demonized, a word which comes from the Greek word ‘dai-mo-niz-o-mai.’ This term is generally translated as demon-possessed. However, it does not convey the English concept of possession (either ownership or eternal destiny) as much as it does temporary control (for example, being ‘under the power of demons’ as the Amplified version translates it). This idea is seen in the elderly woman who was bound by Satan for eighteen years before being set free by Jesus.
“The New Testament describes physical, social, and spiritual symptoms of demonic control, though no exhaustive list is given. The physical symptoms include muteness, blindness, self-inflicted wounds, crying out, screaming, convulsions, seizures, falling to the ground, rolling around, foaming at the mouth, grinding of the teeth, and rigidity, inhuman strength, and staying active day and night. The social symptoms include dwelling in unclean places and going around naked. The spiritual symptoms include supernatural abilities such as recognition of the person of Christ and reaction against him and the ability to tell the future. None of these symptoms by itself should be seen as proof of demonization. Rather, they are examples of the types of manifestations that come with demonic infestation.”
Thankfully, Jesus came to ‘set the captives — including those who are demon-possessed or held captive by demons — free’ from their prisons. In all of His dealings with demons, Jesus treated the afflicted human with compassion and demonstrated authority over the possessing spirit. Jesus spoke the word and the demons fled — unlike the elaborate exorcism rituals of the Catholic Church which media reports tell us are on the rise and that have become popularized in films and TV shows such as Constantine and The Exorcist. Lord willing, in our next message, we will look closer at what it meant for Jesus to ‘cast out’ these evil spirits.

The gospels report that Jesus cast a demon or demons out of a specific individual at least nine separate times. Most of these accounts are recorded in all three or four gospels. Of course, in the passage that we are continuing to look at today, we find that Jesus cast out many devils at one time as people brought their possessed relatives to Him for that purpose. Jesus took the problem of demon-possession very seriously, and, evidently, the people who lived in first-century Palestine took it seriously as well. We have no record of Jesus ever telling someone who brought a supposedly demon-possessed family member to Him, ‘No, your relative, your friend isn’t demon-possessed. They just have mental problems. They don’t need demons cast out; what they need is mental healing.’ To be clear, there medical Doctors who say that mental health issues are real; they can and should be addressed; and Jesus can miraculously heal those too. However, demon-possession is also real and we should take it seriously today as Jesus did in His day.
According to Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology: “Throughout Jesus’ life we see his work against the devastating work of demons in the lives of people. The vocabulary of demonic activities against human beings is rich and varied, though it all shows movement toward the ultimate destruction of people.
