Your Invitation to Christ
Inspiration for Today's Church from the Desk of Tim Barker
Your Invitation to Christ
Your Calling to a Better Life
What’s the secret to a better life?
How can we reach the pinnacle the world tells us we should strive for?
The truth is, we can’t! No matter how high we reach, how many hours we work, all the connections we forge, success is always just one more handshake, one more paycheck, one more deal away!!
The only secret to a better life is no secret at all. It’s through a relationship with Jesus Christ!!
How, you ask? What’s the trick to this relationship that leads to a better life than we are able to achieve on our own?
No tricks. Jesus never tries to mislead us, pull the wool over our eyes, or does anything in secret.
In fact, He offers us an Invitation to the Greatest Show on Earth: Heaven. The world is getting ready as I write this. We’ve got a future you won’t believe, and it’s better than elephants, lions, and fancy moves on the high wire.
Our Invitation to Christ guarantees us six things. Once we accept Christ’s invitation we can:
1. Rest. It’s ours in the midst of whatever comes our way.
2. See. Our eyes are opened to the supernatural.
3. Follow. Christ is our only true leader.
4. Drink. The ambrosia of Jesus becomes ours.
5. Dine. We will find renewal in our fellowship with our Lord.
6. Inherit. The Kingdom will one day be ours. It’s called Heaven.
Now you know, and since you’ve read this, you can never unknow. Salvation comes through Christ. God desires our presence, and we draw closer to Him through our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
Heaven is waiting. I want to be there.
Join me today, won’t you?
