Joyful Invitation

As, when the Jews from all parts of the country went up thrice a year to worship at Jerusalem, they called on their friends in the road and excited them to go along with them, so shall many of the Gentiles court their relations, friends, and neighbours, to join with them in embracing the Christian religion (v. 3): "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord; though it be uphill and against the heart, yet it isthe mountain of the Lord, who will assist the assent of our souls towards him.’’ 

If only we would as easily invite all our friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers to know the Lord, as we would invite them to parties or to hang out..
