JOIN US FOR A VERY SPECIAL EASTER...
Those were the words typed across the placard attached to my receipt last Friday night after Vonda and I enjoyed a quiet meal with some friends.
The sub-print on the card read:
Easter Sunday is right around the corner.
Have you made plans yet?
Space is limited.
Make your reservations today.
Read the above phrases one more time. Only this time read them through the eyes of the New Testament. The restaurant’s invitation sounds more like an evangelistic appeal than it does a request for a busy afternoon meal.
Sometimes the world does a better job of advertising than the church. Perhaps if the church treated their customers (the pre-Christians) with more care we would see people waiting in line to join us for worship.
