In today's GB News Daily Reflections, we recall the parable of the Great Banquet.

"Invitations have been sent out to privileged guests. A magnificent banquet is prepared, and then excuses begin to pour in. I've just bought a field, I bought a yoke of oxen, I've recently married, I can't come.

"What might happen this week if, instead of rattling off a quick excuse, we paused and our response was, I say yes. What unexpected difference might it make to others and ourselves? And we might also be surprised about what God could do."
