“Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.”
Psalms 100:4 NLT
How do you enter a persons home, firstly through the gate. A lot of homes have dogs, some have security gates. To enter you need an invitation or a friend on the inside. To make it into the courts, a royal place indeed, requires excellent credentials.
To enter the gate of the king requires an invitation and High credentials. Yet we are invited into the gates and courts of the king of kings. How is this possible? Someone paid the price for us to enter, a perfect price for all who choose to enter in. Jesus, the Son of God paid the price. He offered Himself as a perfect price. No one had ever been found good enough, no animal sacrifice ever was found enough, yet the Son of God was.
Why are we invited through the gates of the King of kings let alone into His courts? Is He desperate for friends? Yes! He has a never-ending passion for fellowship with His creation, a thirst that cannot be quenched. Yes He has many friends but is not yet satisfied. He goes further than making us friends, He calls us family! We are easily satisfied but we have a God who isn’t. We will never comprehend His hunger, yet, He invites us in. This is not just for an evening, a weekend, but for all eternity! Crazy!
Why not accept the invitation! Amen!
