They are the most exclusive credit cards in the world.
The Sherbank Visa Infinite Gold Card is made out
of solid gold and is embedded with 26 diamonds. It
costs $100,000 just to get the card—and that’s before you
actually buy anything with it!
The invite-only American Express Centurion Card is one of
the most prestigious in the world. It’s also known simply as
“the black card” because of its striking all-black appearance.
Or there’s the Dubai First Royale MasterCard, which is also
made of gold and diamonds and is also invitation only, reserved
for a “select group of people representing royalty and
the upper echelons of the social and business community.”
THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY,
“COME!” AND LET THE ONE WHO HEARS SAY,
“COME!” LET THE ONE WHO IS THIRSTY COME;
AND LET THE ONE WHO WISHES TAKE THE FREE
GIFT OF THE WATER OF LIFE.
Revelation 22:17
Most of us will never own one of these cards or be members
of these exclusive groups. It is pretty certain none of us will
be part of a royal family. But whether or not we have the
blingy card in our pocket, the truth is we are representatives
of royalty if we have decided to follow Jesus. He offers an
invitation for each one of us to be part of the most important
kingdom there will ever be, and he wants each of us to know
Him personally!
No matter what your background is, regardless of what
your net worth might be, the king is inviting you to join the
kingdom. How will you respond?
AS A GROUP, DISCUSS THESE TWO QUESTIONS:
What groups are you part of? Think about your gender, race,
age, profession, life stage, hobbies, education, etc.
Share a story about a time you auditioned or interviewed
for something; for instance, a school play, a sports team, or
a job and you did not get it.
