God's constant invitation

Matthew 19:23-30 


We now turn our attention to Gideon on how he would bring Israel to triumph against Midian.

He would have the same struggle as Moses; but God would always be consistent.

One thing for sure: God always communicates with His people.

Secondly, he sends messengers to free His people.

Third, the messengers are somehow prepared to receive His call: they are upright persons.

But the main fact still remains: God leads his people.

The Gospel verifies the dynamics of God's invitation and man's response.  Man's response is always that of questioning or being skeptical; but not at the expense of losing one's faith.  It is this intimate dialogue between God and man - God's consistent and faithful invitation and man's maturing response - makes salvation possible.

Make no doubt about it - when God calls us, it's always on the road to salvation.  Accept the invitation.
