Do You Need an Invitation?

There are members of our direct family who when they know about a family reunion, and even when they are used to them, they need an invitation; if not formal, at least directly over a phone call or personal, because if not invited, they don’t feel their presence is required. Some people might feel bad about it because the person invited could feel either too “good” to come, or too bad to deserve it. Either way it’s bad for them. That is why Jesus is constantly inviting everyone to meet Him, to have a relationship with Him because He came to this world to die and pay our penalty that imposed death through sin, which is why if we don’t accept His invitation we will lose every right and good thing we might have accomplished. He is inviting us ALL for He wants the best for us, He says: ”Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3.20) We have the invitation, but, like I said, if we don’t accept it, for whatever reason, we might lose our place to enter the “ARK” of salvation. It’s like the story Jesus said in Mathew 22. 1-14, the King (God) is inviting us ALL to the wedding feast of His Son (with His church) and if we are either too busy or simply don’t care to attend, we’ll lose our space to anyone who does care: >“For many are called, but few are chosen” (Mathew 22.14). It will be horrible on the Day of our Lord that many are going to want to be saved then, but like it happened when Noah entered the ARK, the door is going to be shut and it would not open for they didn’t do it on time. And the time is NOW. Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55.6) NOW is the moment He is opening the Door to you. If you want to read some of the invitations you can see all the “I AM’s” pronouncements in the gospel according to John: I am the TRUE VINE . . . chapter 15.1, 5I am the BREAD. . . chapter 6. 35, 41, 48, 51 I am the LIGHT. . . chapter 8..12 chapter 9.5 I am the DOOR. . . chapter 10.7-9 I am the GOOD SHEPERD. . . chapter 10. 11-14 I am the RESURRECTION & LIFE. . . chapter 11.25 I am TEACHER/MASTER. . . chapter 13. 13, 19-20 I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE . . . chapter 14. 6 He’s asserting all of that when He says He’s the Beginning and the End in Revelation chapter 1. 8, 17-18; chapter 21. 6, and chapter 22. 13. In the meantime our heavenly Father is not physically with us, he left us with our earthly fathers who we are honoring this month. Happy Father’s Day to All
