Scripture & Reflection: Sunday 28th July & for the week ahead:

Scripture:

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. (John 6 v 35)

Reflection:

Right here, Jesus declares that all are welcome to feast on what he has to offer. None shall be turned away. Age, race, gender, country of origin, socio-economic status, and every other classification you can name will not be a reason for withdrawing the invitation. Every person and every type of person is asked to come and feast on this bread of life we know as Christ. And none will ever be asked to leave.

Imagine being able to say “Anyone who comes to me I will not drive away” That’s the kind of Christ-like hospitality we should all get behind. It’s the kind of hospitality that says to people, “Don’t worry about what you look like, where you’ve come from, or how you got here. Just come and eat.”

Are you willing to accept such a wonderful invitation?
