Yesterday I was invited to a wedding. The day before I was invited to sign up for some magazines. And the day before that I was asked to take a new credit card. I also got an invitation from St. Paul's Church to attend a Strawberry social.
Every television commercial is an invitation.
And of course I keep getting invitations to give more money. But Jesus' invitation is quite different. It is an invitation to the heavy laden. So we begin with any heavy burden that is weighing us down. Some people face terrible financial problems.
