Come and Get It!

Rev. William Mueller

Tenth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: Isaiah 55:1-5; Readings: Psalm 136:1-9; Isaiah 55:1-5; Matthew 14:13-21

Through the prophet Isaiah, our Lord issues such a gracious invitation to an exquisite banquet. There is no cover cost for admission to this banquet. God Himself has supplied everything and charges nothing! So, why spend our time and energies on things that do not last? Hear the invitation and “Come and Get It!”

Life Abundant

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

John 10:10b

In Kenneth Grahame’s classic children’s book, “The Wind in the Willows,” every character — Ratty, Mole, Badger, and Mr. Toad — is blessed with the gift of hospitality. The book is charming, full of adventure, good humor, and hospitality. What could be better than being together, welcoming friends, sharing dinners and picnics, and abounding with goodwill? The early Christians knew the gift of hospitality, too, through the unity of the Spirit. Luke described their lives in the book of Acts: “Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul … there was not a needy person among them” (Acts 4:32a, 34a). Jesus had told the disciples that He came to bring life — and life abundantly (John 10:10), and the early disciples experienced the abundant life in their togetherness, providing for and forgiving one another. We can, too, as we invite others — and the Lord, Himself — to gather around our tables. Come, Lord Jesus.
