Come to the Water Isaiah 55:1-9
from South Arm United Church's Podcast · host South Arm United Church
Send us Fan MailA parallel to this scripture is found in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus tells a parable about a homeowner who offers a banquet. When the banquet is prepared the host sends out a worker to gather the invited guests. Each come up with reasons they are too busy to attend. So the homeowner directs the worker to gather the outcast from the streets and the alleyways. Bring all who were initially not on the guest list. The worker does so and there is plenty of room to spare for even more guests. God's welcome is for All, particularly the ones society casts aside. And Jesus invites us to feast on the Bread of Life and Living Waters that satisfy us body, mind and spirit in a way bread and drink alone cannot. Those who hunger and thirst for God will find themselves forever satisfied. Music between scripture reading and sermon: "Just As I Am" (Voices United Hymnal #508). Words: Charlotte Elliott, 1834. Music: William Batchelder Bradbury, 1849. Podcast/Streamed with Permission under One License Number: A-607425 & CCLI 2453477
