Matthew 7:7-11

Ask, seek, knock. Jesus invites us to seek God and to search for him. These are not achievements but admissions of need. God invites the empty to receive what only he can give. He teaches us in response to treat others in the way God treats us. Jesus does not bless those who already have righteousness. He blesses those who know they lack it. This week, we hear the

invitation of a gracious God who satisfies the hungry, welcomes those who seek, and opens the narrow way that leads to life.
