To\n             him who lacks sense she says,\n        5    ``Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I\n             have mixed.''  (ESV)\n\n        Wisdom, identified by Solomon as the Word of God, was\n   present at the creation of the world.  Wisdom is available to all\n   people, free and without asking.\n        She has sent out her young women to call from the\n        highest places in the town, ``Whoever is simple, let\n        him turn in here!''  To him who lacks sense she says,\n        ``Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have\n        mixed.''\n\n\n        God's grace, love, and mercy is always free.  He invites us\n   into His presence to give to us the forgiveness of all our sins\n   and the hope of life everlasting.  We don't need to seek out\n   Wisdom, God's Word, and His undeserved love.  It is not hidden\n   from our sight, but visible to all people of all times and\n   places.\n\n        The call is the invitation of the Gospel to come to the rich\n   heavenly banquet.  Wisdom charges no admission fee, nor does\n   Wisdom present a bill after dinner.  This is the call of Jesus,\n   ``Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give\n   you rest.''\n\n        Why would we not accept this gracious invitation?  Do we\n   think we are not in need of God's rich love and mercy?  Are we\n   without sin, without problems, without conflict?  Are we wise\n   enough in our own eyes to not need that which God offers?  Yet,\n   many hear God's plea that we come into His presence and ignore\n   the voice of His servants who proclaim His goodness.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we hear, understand, and accept His\n   loving invitation to dine at His banquet table for all of\n   eternity.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1968"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1969,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1968\/revisions\/1969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
