The Invitation..

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The words of Isaiah 55 remind us that Jesus issues this invitation to all – regardless of race, gender, creed or colour.

Jesus calls all people to come to Him – everyone who is weary, thirsty or hungry – only He can satisfy and give us true life in all its fullness and the promise of eternal life.

My friend reminded me recently that our mission is to help people find Jesus and follow Him.

We are living, walking, breathing opportunities to invite someone to see Jesus – perhaps for the first ever time.

Jesus told a parable about people who were invited to a wedding feast but refused to come – they made lots of different excuses.

People will always have the choice whether to accept the invitation that Jesus gives- that is up to them and their choice, but let us not give up or be discouraged from issuing the invites.

Jesus told the disciples to shake the dust from their feet and move on when their message was not welcomed at places. Perhaps we need to shake off some past disappointments and defeatist mind sets and once again invite people to meet Jesus.

There will come a time when it will be too late to issue the invites but we can encourage others to “seek Him while He can be found“. Isaiah 55 v 6.

Who can we invite today to come and see Jesus.

We pray that they will see Jesus in us, His body of believers.

Have a blessed day my friends.
