Luke 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. 17 And he sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, come; for all things are now ready.
We are living in the time of the investigative judgment, where no excuses would be permitted to shift one’s decided actions onto the shoulders of another. In our time, we’re seeing a repeat of history where, too often, the shortcomings and failures of persons are shifted to anyone but the one who is at fault. It is something that we will have to confront on a very personal, and even national level, before the day of reckoning concludes.
Excuse definition: The attempt to lessen the blame for a fault or offense, to seek to defend or justify. The following are just a few examples of what we’re speaking of and as we read observe the tendency of making excuses. Some of the excuses might seem plausible, while others, not so much. However, the issue must be pinpointed first, before we would be prepared to overcome it, by God’s grace.
The excuses folks often make will be divided up into different categories, spanning the spectrum of the human experience. [1] Excuses dealing with temporal concerns.

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.
Luke 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
