Contextual Overview

¹⁵ One of those at the table with Jesus heard these things and said to him, "Blessed are the people who will share in the meal in God's kingdom." ¹⁶ Jesus said to him, "A man gave a big banquet and invited many people. ¹⁷ When it was time to eat, the man sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come. Everything is ready.' ¹⁸ "But all the guests made excuses. The first one said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go look at it. Please excuse me.' ¹⁹ Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen; I must go and try them. Please excuse me.' ²⁰ A third person said, ‘I just got married; I can't come.' ²¹ So the servant returned and told his master what had happened. Then the master became angry and said, ‘Go at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.' ²² Later the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you commanded, but we still have room.' ²³ The master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes, and urge the people there to come so my house will be full. ²⁴ I tell you, none of those whom I invited first will eat with me.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Yet there is room - He went out and invited all he found in the lanes, and yet the table was not full. This he also reported to his master. “There is room!” What a glorious declaration is this in regard to the gospel! There yet is room. Millions have been saved, but there yet is room. Millions have been invited, and have come, and have gone to heaven, but heaven is not yet full. There is a banquet there which no number can exhaust; there are fountains which no number can drink dry; there are harps there which other hands may strike; and there are seats there which others may occupy. Heaven is not full, and there yet is room. The Sunday school teacher may say to his class, there yet is room; the parent may say to his children, there yet is room; the minister of the gospel may go and say to the wide world, there yet is room. The mercy of God is not exhausted; the blood of the atonement has not lost its efficacy; heaven is not full. What a sad message it “would” be if we were compelled to go and say, “There is no more room - heaven is full - not another one can be saved. No matter what their prayers, or tears, or sighs, they cannot be saved. Every place is filled; every seat is occupied.” But, thanks be to God, this is not the message which we are to bear; and if there yet is room, come, sinners, young and old, and enter into heaven. Fill up that room, that heaven may be full of the happy and the blessed. If any part of the universe is to be vacant, O let it be the dark world of woe!

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 14:22. And yet there is room. — On some occasions, so numerous are the guests that there is not room for therm to sit in the court of the person who makes the feast, and a larger is therefore borrowed.
