Come to the Feast
Matthew 22:4
Again he sent other servants, saying, “Tell those who are invited, ‘See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’”

Come to the Feast
Another year is ending. Many things in your life no doubt have changed. Some for the better, some for the worse. During this time of the year, we tend to spend time reflecting back on all that we did and did not accomplish. For some, this might be encouraging; for others not so much. Yet no matter what this year has brought, one thing is certain: God has been with each of us through every moment. And the invitation to join in the wedding feast remains. This invitation is for each of us.
God wants you to come to His feast, which He has prepared for you. God wants you to know the joy of living a life in Christ. The Joy of being part of the wedding couple, the Bridegroom Christ, and His bride the Church. You are invited to be part of this holy couple. You are invited to come and see the joy of being part of the body of Christ and of being His bride.
Though we may have celebrations tonight to ring in the New Year, we ought not neglect to join in the feast which Christ has prepared for us. Come to church, and see the many blessings laid out before us in God’s Means of Grace. Come and see the Bridegroom and rejoice in the love He has shown each of us. Rejoice that you are counted as one of the righteous, and that you have a seat at the banquet.
