What Does Luke 14:22 Mean?
The servant returns: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded — the city's poor are already at the table — and yet there is room. The hall is larger than the first sweep of the streets could fill. The supper waits for more.
'Yet there is room' is one of the most hopeful sentences in the parables of Jesus. No crowd has ever filled the Father's house; no latecomer has found the seats gone. The words still stand over the gospel invitation: whoever fears the table is full may hear them and come. There is room — room of deliberate, generous design.
