An Invitation to Share Blessings

Commentators see Moses' invitation to Hobab as a powerful model for Christian evangelism. Just as Moses urged his relative to join Israel and share in God's promised blessings, believers are encouraged to invite their friends and family to journey with them toward the 'heavenly Canaan.' The call is simple and generous: 'Come with us, and we will do you good.'
