Dinner with Jesus

What if one day you receive an invitation card, stating:

You're invited to dinner with Jesus from Nazareth
8pm / Milano's
Don't be late!

and it doesn't state who is it from, neither does it state any other messages that is intended for you. All that is there on the card is a short and sweet sentence, telling you who you're having dinner with, apart from your name and address and a stamp on it. There's no whatever contact number either. What would you do? How would you react? What would you say? Would you go or will you think it's a prank and give it a miss?

What is even more unnerving to you is that, during the conversation at dinner, Jesus knows every single thing about you including anecdotes of your life. He knows what you studied, he knows where you've been on a date, etcetera. Towards the end of the meal, while you try to reach out for the leather holder containing the bill, Jesus stopped you from doing so and upon which, you noticed a through-hole wound on his wrist. The wound that was received through him hanging on the cross while dying for all humans' sins. It is, at then, do you realize that that is no prank Jesus and indeed it is Jesus, the son of God, your Creator, the one who created mankind to have a relationship with them, only for some to reject him.

Would you want to have another dinner with Jesus?

As for me, I would go, I would want definitely want to meet my Creator and clear my doubts and ask as many questions as possible. It is, sure weird to have to be invited to dinner with your God but wouldn't you want to meet him in person? Wouldn't you want to have the right answers from the one above?

I just got done reading David Gregory's of Dinner with the Perfect Stranger and A day with the perfect Stranger and both books, are of good reads and I can't agree more, that there is finally a defense for Christianity. But nonetheless, read it up if you have the time, it's worth your time reading.

Lastly, congrats to Singapore for winning the bid to host the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, a great start for the nation. Could that also mean that everyone will be entitled to using the event's facilities then? ;) I was quite nervous on awaiting Jacques Rogge to announce the winner right back at home. I wasn't that enthusiastic on being part of the Padang but well, congrats little nation.
