Subject: Example from Luke 14
In reply to: Brother in Christ 's message, "Re: New thread on doctrine" on 09:23:05 10/25/04 Mon

Example taken from Samuel Lee’s message on Luke 14:1-35, Key Verse: 14:23,

"Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full.'"

In inviting the Gentiles, the owner of the house said, "Make them come in." Our Lord Jesus is gentle like a mother. He does not break a bruised reed or snuff a smoldering wick (Isa 42:3). But as for world salvation purpose, he said, "Make them come in." These days many people don't interfere with others, even when they know that they are dashing toward destruction. They are afraid of violating human rights. To invite people to the feast of the kingdom of God, we must learn from the owner that without heart, or suffering loss, nothing happens. True love always goes beyond human reason or unreasonable sacrifices.


Samuel Lee derives from the phrase "make them come in" that one should violate human rights and do other unreasonable things. Never heard anything close to this from any Christian scholar.
