Our Greatest Accomplishment…Is our Next One!
Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
There is “POWER” in an invitation. An invitation makes us feel special, especially if it is from someone important in our life.
In the Bible, Jesus had just started His ministry and Andrew met with Jesus. He quickly went and invited his brother, Peter, to come and meet Jesus. Later, as we know, Peter became the chief of the apostles. He became a great preacher and minister and was an anointed man of God. Similarly, Philip brought his friend Nathaniel to Jesus. And at first sight Jesus told him that he was a true Israelite and he was going to see heaven open and the angels of God coming up and down on the Son of man. In John 4, we read about the Samaritan woman. She met a Jewish young man near Jacob’s well and in the conversation she realizes that the man is Messiah. She was so excited that she went back into the city and brought her neighbors and all the city folk to Jesus. One day, Jesus invited a tax collector named Matthew who also went by the name Levi. He was in the tax collector’s office and Jesus had invited him to join as one of the twelve disciples. After that, the Bible says that Matthew went back to his house and invited all his neighbors and family members and a dinner party was arranged in honor of Jesus. He was building a platform where so many people could meet Jesus personally. In another occasion, we see Cornelius, who sent out an invitation to Peter to his house. And when Peter came, Cornelius invited the whole family to gather in his house to hear Peter’s preaching. The Bible says, as Peter was preaching, the Holy Spirit came down and all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit.
An invitation makes us feel special, especially if it is from someone important in our life. An invitation makes us feel wanted and accepted. Many came to Jesus by way of an invitation. There is power in one invitation. Isaiah 1:18 says, “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Here, God is inviting sinners. We cannot cleanse ourselves or make ourselves holy. But we can go to Him and He will make us just like Him.
There is power in an invitation! I encourage you this month to invite someone to Church so they will hear the life changing Word of God. Your invitation may very well change their life…forever.
Sheri and I love you More!
May God continue to Bless You Indeed!
