An Invitation from Moses, An Invitation that should come from

Christians TodayScripture Reading: Num 10:29

An invitation from Moses To a member of his family To go to the promised land

A fitting invitation for the Church to extend “Come with us, and we will treat you well”

Those heading for a better land They had been delivered from slavery They were headed to the promised land Christians are headed to heaven (Jn 14:1-3)

The promised land was a gift from God The Lord said, “I will give it to you” This was a future possession for former slaves

Heaven is a prepared gift for God’s people “I go to prepare a place for you” (Jn 14:3) Former slaves to sin are now citizens of Heaven (Phil

3:20) The gift of eternal life includes Heaven (Rom 6:23)

This invitation was given to one who would be helped by accepting it “Come with us, and we will treat you well” An honest desire to do good for another

person God cares about all His creation (Jn 3:16) All who accept the invitation to salvation

will receive good things They will journey with us to Heaven They will share in God’s blessings along the

way

“the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

Moses received promises for Israel from God At the burning bush (Ex 3&4) Israel’s future was as secure as God’s promises

The Lord guarantees our offer of salvation He promises to save all who come to Him (Heb

7:25) He promises to keep them all the way (1 Jn 5:13)

As Christians let us extend this invitation to all

Let all know God loves them and desires to do them good
