You Have Been Invited
JULY 17 & 18, 2021
KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:
For most of us we could not even imagine receiving an invitation to a dinner party being thrown by the President. When he was asked how many will be at the party, the President said, “that will depend on how many responds to the invitation.” It was his desire for everyone who received an invitation to come. However, he also knew some would find something else to be more important or, think the invitation was a joke and not respond to it. All were invited, but only those who responded were chosen to sit with the president that day.
Many people have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Untold millions upon millions have heard the good news, that by trusting on Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Saviour you can be saved. Many have been told Jesus died for them on the cross of Calvary, was buried in a cold damp tomb, and rose again the third day. Countless numbers of people know He went to heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father. Nevertheless, only a fraction of those who have heard accept the call to be saved. There are so many people, that do not receive salvation, and they do so by refusing Jesus’ invitation. Many say not today, later, and go off into eternity without Christ. Only a few are chosen to sit at the wedding banquet with Jesus. Not everyone invited by God will be among the chosen of God. Millions will wait and reject Christ until it is too late.
CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:
The invitation is there. The call has gone out. Are you listening today? Have you heard and responded to His plea to take Him as Saviour? If you have, rejoice in the fact you are among the chosen to sit with Christ. If not, it is all up to you. The invitation is there right now. I promise it is not a joke, and there is nothing more important in all of eternity. You have been invited.

There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
