And Jesus answered and spoke to
them again by parables and said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king
who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those
who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he
sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have
prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are
ready. Come to the wedding.”’ But they made light of it and went their ways,
one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants,
treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he
was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned
up their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those
who were invited were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many
as you find, invite to the wedding.’ So those servants went out into the
highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the
wedding hall was filled with guests.” - Matthew 22:1-10 NKJV.
(Read the rest of
the parable
Matthew 22:11-14)

 

 

But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to
those who believe in His name. - John 1:12 NKJV.

 

 

James Patterson has a new book that could
revolutionize reading and learning. Patterson has developed a book for purchase
on a one time basis for only $294,038. Who would ever buy such a book
especially when learning that the book explodes, self-destructs in 24-hours?
The book does come with some perks though including a countdown clock,
binoculars plated in 14 karat gold, and air travel to an undisclosed luxury
hotel for a two nights stay. The book owner will also receive a five course
dinner with the author. Why has the author created a book that may need a bomb
squad present at the end of the 24-hours? Patterson’s ad agency spokesperson,
Susan Holden
says,
“He likes to market. He’s an ex ad guy. He
believes in advertising and he believes that’s a significant reason why his
books have been so successful.”
(Wired
01.26.15 and various other news venues)

 

 

Can you imagine how self-destructing books
could be teaching tools? Read the homework chapters assigned completing the
questions in the allotted time or your book explodes in your face…maybe with
some red dye or something…. I probably would have turned in my homework on time
with that kind of incentive! Of course, there would have been quite a few of us
walking around the school hallways with red faces for a week or two.

 

 

What if God were to send you a
personal message so important that it has a time limit and is priceless? If the
message from God is not read within the allotted time it will no longer be
available for you to access? In a way this is what God has done.

 

 

God has sent you a personal
message called the Bible. It is available for most people to read whether through
print, digital, or online. It does, however, have an expiration date. You only
will be able to read this book while you are physically alive. There is,
thankfully, an exception for some people.

 

 

Those who do read and receive the
message
(John 1:12), and those who may not actually read it; but
are told about the message, and receive it, will receive some special perks.
What are those special perks? You will live in the
House of
the Lord
(the author of the book) forever continuing to hear God‘s Words! While
you are there you will participate in the
“marriage supper of the lamb
(Revelation 19:9)”
and you will be clothed in a special wedding garment, the “Robe of
Righteousness (Isaiah 61:10).”
Also, since you have received
that special message from God, He has adopted you into His family, the royal
family of the King of kings, and the Lord of lords!

Prayer Requests: Please pray for
an end to the racial hatred in the USA and that it will be replaced with peace
and love. Please pray for Justin Lewis who is battling cancer. He is a young
Christian man with a wife and two children. Unless God intervenes there is
little hope for him. Please also pray for Shane Hall who has cancer and for all
those afflicted with this terrible disease. Update on my sister, Reta: Her surgery was successful removing kidney and tumor. Please continue to pray for her as she goes through chemo for the nodules in her lungs. Many prayer needs are posted at the
Burning Bush website on the Prayer Request page. You can also post your prayer
requests there (Of course, I am always in need of prayer - please pray for
me.).
