RENEW REFRESH REFOCUS

CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

You are Invited

Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. — Luke 14:23

In today’s story, a man invites guests to a celebration banquet, but all who are invited turn him down. They make excuses about having other commitments, but, as Jesus’ listeners would know, the excuses are all lies. For example, in those days, no one would buy oxen without trying them out first. And if a social friend had just been married, the host would have known and would not have interrupted him with an invitation to another party. The host refuses to give up, however and sends his servants to invite others whom most people would not expect to be invited.

The parable of the great banquet is a warning that God’s people must not take him for granted (see Luke 14:1-14) and not ignore his invitations. It’s God’s desire for humanity to be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4), but the choice is ours.

Sadly, God’s invitations are still turned down by people who have known about him all their lives. Many even who have grown up in Christian homes turn away, thinking they are doing just fine without God.

The Lord still invites. He has commissioned and sent us out like the servants in the parable to invite others. Therefore, let's go out there and keep sharing God’s invitation of salvation to mankind. He cares.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, is an honor to be invited by you. Cultivate in me the passion to invite others for their Salvation. In Jesus’ name Amen.
