An Exclusive Invitation

Chapter Eleven of the Gospel of Matthew begins with an exceptional interrogation by the John the Baptist but ends with an exclusive invitation in verse 28 by the One whose mission, ministry and message that John seemed to momentarily question.  This invitation should not be so easily dismissed or discarded.  On the one hand, to do so would forfeit an unparalleled opportunity for love, joy, peace and happiness now and in eternity.  On the other hand, ignoring it could place and plunge one’s life into extreme jeopardy or eternal danger.  This sermon explores the characteristics of this “exclusive invitation.”
