Invitations

SUNDAY MEDITATION
Invitations are special. To be invited is to be honored—to be held in high esteem! The most incredible invitations aren’t found in envelopes but in the Bible. God invited Eve to marry Adam, the animals to enter the ark, David to be the king, Israel to leave bondage, and Mary to give birth to his son. “Come,” he invited. “Though your sins be as scarlet, they can be white as snow. Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” “Come,” he would say. You see, God is the King who invites us to come. Who prepares the palace, sets the table, and invites his subjects to come in. His invitation for you, however, is not just for a meal – it’s for life! MAX LUCADO
