Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 14:24

Luke 14:24 God's Call to the Young. I. God's call, addressed to the soul of every man, is a call to him to be happy for ever; and this is the same thing as calling upon him to be holy, for holiness and happiness are one in God, and they are one also in the children of God.
