When I was a young boy, I liked it whenever I was invited to enjoy a meal with my friends. “You are invited!” the invitation came. The meals were simple, but we enjoyed it—thanks to the invitation. When I applied for a job, I was glad when I was invited to accept the appointment. “Yes!” I responded happily. Years later, an invitation letter in my visa application documents helped me to obtain a visa to travel. Therefore, to be invited is very important; that is, if you are invited to something good. Come: One day I read an invitation in the Bible that sounded more special than any other invitation. The invitation reads: “Come to me, all you who are tired and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). That is good invitation, and it comes from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. “Come, and I will give you rest!” Jesus invites us. His “rest” means peace with God and satisfaction for our tired soul. When Jesus says, “Come to me,” He is inviting us to Himself. Only He can help us, no matter the problems we are facing. Jesus came to save us from sin, Satan, and hell. He is inviting us to escape from future destruction and to enjoy everyday life. The party: Jesus told the story of a king who threw a party for his son. He invited friends and neighbours but they refused to go to the party. They said No to the invitation because they were busy. In the end, the king sent his servants to go out and invite other people to the party. This story is recorded in Matthew 22:1-14. God, the King of kings, has prepared a great party for His Son Jesus. On the great day of the party, which will be the Judgment Day, Jesus will return to take those who say Yes to His invitation. You are invited. Will you say Yes or No? Say Yes to this important invitation. Come to Jesus. To accept the invitation to come to Jesus, talk to Him. Pray this simple 5-point prayer to accept Jesus as your personal Saviour: 1. Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God who died for me. 2. I am a sinner and I admit my sins. 3. I am sorry for my sins and repent from them. 4. Please forgive me and cleanse me. 5. I accept You as my personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and into my life. When you pray this prayer sincerely, believe that your sins have been forgiven. Believe that Jesus has come to live in your heart. Thank Him for what He has done for you. Now that you have accepted the invitation, join a church where the Word of God is taught. Serve the Lord faithfully till he returns to take us to be with Him.
