Luke 14:23 And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highway and hedges and
Compel them to come in, that my house may be full.
Compel: what means he used is not stated, but with God it is clear that He uses truth,
Exhortation, reproof, instruction, long suffering, love, meekness, gentleness,
Perserverance, and sometimes drastic measures to try turn people from hell, but He
Never forces anyone against there will.
2. Hypocrites, which is someone who pretends to be something or someone they are
really not.

He thought because of his riches he was better than the beggar, because he had it

Word of God and Christ as his Savior.

He had a genuine thirst for water and comfort, and not to see his family come there,
