“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and in will give you rest.” “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and in will give you rest.” “If anyone is thirsty , let him come to me and drink, whoever believes in me , as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” “For many are invited but few are chosen.” “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.”
this is the Church God said would come into existence and for the covenant to be fulfilled Christ had to come into the world. The reason of Christ’ sacrifice was not just to effect the temporal security but to give eternal life to all those whom he has chosen. Though thee may be thousands of places, the church is the only place which can impart God’s wisdom and knowledge to all those who are part of it. The church was bought at a price and we are it. For us to be saved someone had to die and to know the person who purchased us must be the desire of every soul. Not just to inherit eternal life or to be comforted, and as relationship is the cause, those who loves God must response to God’s invitation. The decision to love God is everyone’s choice and as the feelings are so the passion must be. The invitation is given to everyone, not to avoid the church but to be close to it. The Church is what we are and as God is the owner of it, we have to be in the house of God. The truth of God’s word is our treasure.
