Jesus: Everyone's Invited, Few Get In

Sunday, March 8, 2009
Message by:  Ken Harvey

People should be sure they have responded to the one

who brings in the kingdom. It is easy to think we auto-

matically qualify-- by birth, by cultural connection, or by

heritage. But to Jesus, a relationship with God is personal 

in nature and means setting ourselves apart to follow him.

The door remains open individually for everyone. It is an 

equal-opportunity road, with access to all who take it, but 

the route is marked out by God, not by us. He wants people

to consciously enter into relationship with him, aware of

their sins and shortcomings, their need for God, and the 

salvation Jesus has achieved for them.
