Invited and inviting—that is the nature of the church. By God’s grace in holy baptism we have a place at the banquet table of the Lord. When, by the power of that same Spirit, humility and mutual love continue among us, the church can be more inviting still.
Readings:
- Proverbs 25:6-7
Do not put yourself forward
- Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16
God is with us: let acts of mutual love continue
- Luke 14:1, 7-14
An image of God’s reign: invite the poor, crippled to your banquet
