Blessed invitation

 Isaiah 55:1-2  Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.


The Bible states that King Solomon held a fortune that dwarfed any and every person who lived before him. This made him the richest person ever lived in the world. King Solomon reigned for 40 years. Each year, he received 25 tons of gold.

King Solomon’s throne was coated in pure gold and inlaid with ivory. It had 6 stairs, 12 lion statues (1 on either side of each step) and a solid gold foot stool. Two larger lion statues stood on either side of the throne.

All of the goblets and household articles in Solomon’s palace were pure gold. He was reportedly so rich, that during the years of his reign over Jerusalem, the immense wealth caused silver to be considered of little value and as common as rocks. As such, nothing in Solomon’s palace was made of silver.

With all the riches and wealth Solomon still consider it "vanity", (Ecclesiastes).

Devil took our Lord Jesus Christ to a high mountain and shew Him wealth and riches of the world, Jesus knew that the riches of this world is vanity. The joy of this world will last but for awhile, nothing on earth brings parmanent joy, man keeps searching for peace in a world that is full of evils, Jesus said "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" (Matt 6:34). But He gave us His peace "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."(John 14:27).

Jesus is calling... He is the only one that possessed everlasting peace, give your life to Him, surrender everything, "Jesus loves you!"
