In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”(Luke 13:28-30 ESV)
Like a scene from A Christmas Carol, Jesus gives a glimpse of what those are missing out on who fail to receive His invitation to the Kingdom banquet. It is where you want to be, and who you want to be with. Also in this picture, there is a double shock: not only are they out, those they least expected are in. There will be great grief and bitterness for those who have rejected Christ as Savior and Lord.
