When You Ignore
The Most Important
INVITATION
You’ll Ever Get
“But they Made Light Of It
And went their ways,
One to his farm,
Another to his merchandise.”
Matthew 22:5
What does it mean to 'Make Light' of someone?
It is a flagrant disregard to treat someone as unimportant,
trivial, or laugh off what someone has said and openly ignore,
disregard, and perhaps even laugh at a person or their request.
In this parable by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus makes a
direct illustration of God the Father inviting people to
the Kingdom of Heaven, yet some smirk and
make light of it to attend to the things of this world that is important to them
not fully realizing that they are dissing the most important
invitation they will ever receive.
This is what the Gospel message is all about.
It is an invitation to eternity that is open to all,
yet many - not fully realizing what they are being offered -
prioritize the affairs, pleasures, and riches of this life instead.
This open request to eternal life is FREE but only open for only a short time,
and then as Jesus himself says that door closes
and to those that are without will go into outer darkness
and there will be the deep regret and
“Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth.”
This too is a phrase that is 'Made Light Of' and instead
MOCKED, found WACKY, and REJECTED.
Friend, please do not Make Light of this —
The Most Important Invitation You Will Ever Receive.
The choice to REGARD or REJECT it
Is Entirely Up to You.
God Bless Your Day
