Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
So he sent out more servants with this message: 'Tell everyone who's invited that I've got everything ready, the best meat is cooked, the feast is prepared, everything's perfect. Come to the wedding!'
God keeps inviting you to the party even when you don't show up the first time.
