Surprisingly, no one came.; those he'd invited were MIA.
The master told the servants, "Go find anyone interested in being my guest!
Undesirables, undeserved, the reviled, the rejected, any kind of sinner...
Visit and invite whoever wants to join us for the party!"
Jesus's love extends to all.

Author Notes
This poem is (very) losely based on a parable Jesus told, recorded in Luke 14. A wealthy man throws a party but his invited guests are too busy or too uninterested to come. He tells his servants to go find anyone who is interested in coming, to urge them to enter the home and feast.
The spiritual implication, of course, is that Jesus' salvation is open to all - Jews, what used to be called 'Gentiles' in the Bible (which is everyone else)... No matter who, what you've done, where you are, no matter what.
If you're interested in finding out about salvation through Christ, lots of us on the site can help you. Messag me and, if you have a question I cannot answer, I know folks who can.
Blessings and thank you for reading,
Deb
