A wealthy man inviting crowd to dine in his house.

English Translation

Two. This picture shows that people who are starving and suffering come to the banquet. The master looks very happy when welcoming them. Jesus Christ, our Lord, loves us and invites us all to go to where he is and to believe in him. He will arrange a feast for us. He will prepare a home in heaven for us. He invites people in and outside of China; rich and poor, everybody goes. He wants us to be one family. Are we to decline  this invitation and not go? Jesus invites you to go today. He will give you happiness and peace. Do you know how to go? You cannot be like those who refused to go; you shall be like those who are starving and poor—those who are badly in need of a feast. You should know that you are a sinner, and you must beg Jesus to forgive your sin. Jesus already died for you. You should remember to say, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” (Lk 18:13)

On the couplet, right to left: Everyone in the world is part of one family. All within the four seas are brothers.

二、这张图画是表明那些饥饿，穷苦的人来赴席的光景。主人迎接他们的时候面上显出很欢喜的样子。我们的主耶稣基督爱我们，请我们都到他那里去，信靠他。他会为我们摆设了筵席，他会为我们预备了天家。他请中，外，贫，富的人都去。他愿意我们都成为一家。我们也要推辞不肯去么？耶稣今天请你去。他要将快乐，平安赐给你。你要知道怎样去么？你不可以像那些不肯去的客人，乃是要像那些急需筵席的饥饿贫穷人。应当知道你乃是个罪人，须求耶稣赦免你的罪。耶稣已经为你死了。当记得说上帝啊，开恩可怜我这个罪人。路加十八章十三节

English Translation

One. A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. Then the owner of the house ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ The servant went out to invite those people, and they come immediately, because they were willing to come and liked to come. Remember, Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Mt 11:28

一、有一个人摆设筵席，请了许多的客人。到了坐席的时候打发仆人去请所有的客人。但是客人都推辞，不肯来。于是主人对仆人说：”你出去把那些饥饿，穷苦，瘸腿，瞎眼的请来和我一同坐席。”仆人出去请那些人，他们立刻就来了，因为他们愿意来，喜欢来。当记得 耶稣说：”凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。”马太十一章二十八节
