Luke 14:23
_ _ highways and hedges — outside the city altogether; historically, the heathen, sunk in the lowest depths of spiritual wretchedness, as being beyond the pale of all that is revealed and saving, “without Christ, strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12); generally, all such still. Thus, this parable prophetically contemplates the extension of the kingdom of God to the whole world; and spiritually, directs the Gospel invitations to be carried to the lowest strata, and be brought in contact with the outermost circles, of human society.
_ _ compel them to come in — not as if they would make the “excuses” of the first class, but because it would be hard to get them over two difficulties: (1) “We are not fit company for such a feast.” (2) “We have no proper dress, and are ill in order for such a presence.” How fitly does this represent the difficulties and fears of the sincere! How is this met? “Take no excuse — make them come as they are — bring them along with you.” What a directory for ministers of Christ!
_ _ that my house may be filled — “Grace no more than nature will endure a vacuum” [Bengel]. |
Luke 14:23
Compel them to come in — With all the violence of love, and the force of God's word. Such compulsion, and such only, in matters of religion, was used by Christ and his apostles. |
