When you read the New Testament 📖
...It is written that Jesus ate meals in many different places with many different people❗️.
...The purpose of eating together is to become closer to others.
...Many people do not want to welcome Jesus into their hearts.
...Because their hearts are filled with...😨 lies, criticism, theft, jealousy, selfishness, unforgiveness... They did not want to show Jesus what was in their hearts...
They thought this life was good enough...
...Their hearts are sick...😱.

"I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners,"
it says in Mark 2:17...
...Today, many people hear the sound of Jesus knocking on the door 🚪, but ignore it...

…He was crucified for you… His hands were pierced with large nails… And with those hands… He is still knocking on the door of your heart today…

…How long will he keep knocking…? 😢

John 1:12.

“But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
…This morning…being able to worship is also a privilege.

Let us offer our thanks to the Lord!

Shalom 😃
