And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Luke 14:22 — KJV
Yet there is room. The servant apparently realizes that the gracious host would certainly desire that the places at his banquet be filled. Likewise in the great gospel feast. God did not create the earth “in vain” (see on Isaiah 45:18), an empty waste, but designated that it should be inhabited as the eternal home of a happy human race. Though sin has postponed the fulfillment of this purpose for a time, it will ultimately be achieved (see PP 67). Every individual born into the world is accorded an opportunity to partake of the gospel feast and to dwell forever in the earth made new. This parable clearly indicates that the same opportunity rejected by one will be eagerly accepted by another (cf. Revelation 3:11).
