Day 8: "Many are invited. Few are chosen"

Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14

I love this parable. I started work today and let's just say today was a tiring day. I almost didn't even read my scripture and write today. So glad I changed my mind.

Once again Jesus speaks to us through parables. If you haven't read the scripture go read it NOW before continuing with this blog...I don't have much to say but I do have a question. If Jesus invited you into heaven would you be able to enter? God is constantly inviting us to accept Him into our life time and time again. His grace and mercy is always there for us and He is just sitting and waiting for us. What I love about God is that he invites EVERYONE to enter the kingdom no matter what you have done in your past. Isn't that great! Because I know I have done some things in my past, but thankfully I have been forgiven and will be able to enter the kingdom.
What's most important in this entire parable to me is v8-10 and v14. I love these verses. God invites even the people who don't deserve to be invited (to be real none of us deserve it). But just because we are invited doesn't mean that we are able to enter. We have to Accept. Believe. Confess.

So many times I have ignored the invitation from Christ, but He continues to wait patiently. Waiting for me to make my decision to follow Him. And not only me but everyone else, because like Jesus said everyone is invited.

So, are you ready to accept His invitation?
