Luke 14:22

22 And the slave said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

Luke 14:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:22

And the servant said
After he had been and brought in a large number of such as are before described, and he was directed to, and succeeded to the gathering of them in:

Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded;
the apostles exactly observed the orders of their Lord and master; they began to preach the Gospel at Jerusalem; and being drove from thence, they went and preached to the Jews of the dispersion, and to the proselytes among the Gentiles:

and yet there is room;
that is, for the Gentiles, after God's elect, among the Jews, for that time were gathered in: there was room provided for them in the heart and love of God from everlasting, and in electing grace; in the suretyship engagements of Christ, in the covenant of his grace; and they had a place in the redeeming grace of Christ, in time; and in the last commission he gave to his disciples; and there was now room for them in the church of God; and will be in the new Jerusalem, and in the heavenly glory.

Luke 14:22 In-Context

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that slave came and showed his lord these things. Then the husband of the house, being angry, said to his slave, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind.
22 And the slave said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the slave, Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were called shall taste of my supper.
