Come to Me
by Max Lucado
Invitations are special.
“You’re invited to a gala celebrating the grand opening of. . .”
“Mr. and Mrs. John Smith request your presence at the wedding of their daughter. . .”
To be invited is to be honored—to be held in high esteem! The most incredible invitations aren’t found in envelopes, but rather, they are found in the Bible. God invited Eve to marry Adam, the animals to enter the ark, and Mary to give birth to His son.
“Come,” he invited, “Come to me all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).”
“Come,” he would say. God is the King who invites us to come, who prepares the palace, sets the table, and invites his subjects to come in. His invitation for you, however, is not just for a meal, it’s for life!
