“So go to the main roads, and invite whomever you find there to the wedding feast.’ Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests” (Matthew 22:9-10).
The Great Commission tells us to go out into all the world, baptizing in the name of Holy Trinity. We are invited to be immersed in the love of God. Who is to be invited? All whom we meet. All are invited, but we are also called to get ready. Some will dress appropriately, and others will not. That is the business of the Lord. Our part is to go into the world and share the love of Jesus.
Almighty God, You have made clear in Your word that You have invited all to come into the relationship You offer by grace through faith. Some will hear the invitation and some will not. Some will hear now and others later. Help Your people to understand that whether one accepts the invitation or not, all are invited. Our part is to go into the world sharing the Good News of great joy.
Lord Jesus, through parables and teaching, You have told us how to go about the business of living this life of faith. It is not just for us, but also for those around us. Help me to be willing whenever the occasion arises to share the hope You have given me. Guide me to be willing to use those opportunities You give me that I may share with others what You have shared with me. Amen.
