“An Open Invitation”

Key Verse

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Text —Matthew 11:28-30

Message

An open invitation is a request to attend an event or to visit a place at any time. If the president of your country gives you an open invitation to the government house for breakfast, you will be glad and expectant. In fact, you will not be able to sleep because it will sound unbelievable until you get to the presidential villa and you are let in. According to our Bible passage, the Lord is giving an open invitation to sinners who are laden with loads of sin in their lives. If you come unto Christ, you will have rest. Do not say, “my sins are too big or too much for God to accept me, or say I am still too young to repent or am afraid of what my friends will say”. Come to Jesus as there is mercy and forgiveness flowing in His kingdom.

No matter how far you have gone in sin, Jesus is ready to forgive you and restore you unto Himself. What you need to do is to open up your heart and accept His invitation. Seize the opportunity to accept the open invitation of God while you are still alive because tomorrow is not guaranteed, death or rapture can come at any time. Tell Jesus to cleanse your heart with His blood, and you shall be free.
