July 11, 2021 - Today we hear the parable of the Great Banquet. In this parable we see that the Nature of God is that of relentless invitation Who so desires to bring the souls of mankind to Himself. We also see that by coming to this banquet and dining with and from our Lord, we experience His healing in our lives. And, we become conformed more and more to His image and conformed less and less to the patterns and thinking of this world. Today we come to realize that the best means being a fountain of Living Water to those outside of the banquet is to sit at table with the Lord allowing Him to tranform our lives. His healing tesifies to His love and reality. It is Christ's healing in our lives that makes us the continuing living invitation to the banquet.
