The Greatest Party.

What is the greatest and grandest party have you been to? Is it a "wedding of the century" of some celebrity, or is it that the food served is worth your month's pay? Could it be that there is even one banquet that is even grander and greater than the one you have attended? The answer is, yes.

"On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
And he will swallow up on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations.
He will swallow up death forever;
and the LORD God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and the reproach of his people will take away from all the earth,
for the LORD has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
"Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the LORD; we have waited for him;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."" -Isaiah 25:6-9

Then you might be thinking of how much you'd have to pay to get to the party, or is there a dress code or that you might have to be exceptionally popular and famous. The answer is, no.

What do we actually need so that we can attend this banquet? Faith. Trust. We need to believe and accept the invitation. Is is such a great promise and a good deal that God is offering us, He is calling out to us to be with Him. Turn away from your sins, and look to God. Recognize His glory and His wonder, stand in awe of His power and majesty. He loves you, as how a father would love his children. His invitation is more than just food and wine. It is an invitation to be His children, and He has sacrificed Jesus Christ his son to redeem us of our sins and the eternal death that comes along with it. We are assured of salvation if we seek Him. He is a God, a good God who promises and never fails. What then are we waiting for? He has already extended the invitation to His great banquet in heaven!
