Subject: Is this invitation open to everyone? |
Bible Note: Hi Edwin, Staying with Matt 11:28 for a moment, do you think that this verse means what it says, that as Jesus gives an invitation to "the crowd", that it is a sincere invitation? Do you think that if someone, anyone, picks up the Bible and reads this verse, that Jesus is inviting that person to come to Him? Or do you think that, although this is plainly what it says, that it means something else? Love in Christ, Mark |
