Luke 14:16-20
1. What sort of excuse did the guests offer?
Jesus said: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.'
"But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.'
"Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.'
"Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.'
Luke 14:25-35
2. Why should someone 'hate... his own life'?
Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Jesus cannot be His disciple.
Therefore, if you want to follow Christ, you have to give up everything by hating the old life of ourselves.
