COME UNTO ME

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

The whole of the bible can be summed up in one word, COME.

We read in Genesis 3, that after man sinned, he hid and ran from God.

The constant call of GOD throughout the bible is to come to him,  man is still seeking to hide from God.

The story of the bible is one of redemption, it is like a game of hide and seek, of man hiding and running from God and God to seeking to redeem and buy back his chosen people.

Throughout the OT, God showed many signs of his coming salvation, through the ark, through the Passover, through the feasts and through prophecy.

The call has always been come. Jesus says come to me, he made it personal.

We can now come to God on a personal level, because of what Jesus has done on the cross, he has made a new and living way, as it states in Hebrews 10:

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh

Now, we can come freely to God, because of what Christ has done.

Some of the final words of the bible are probably the best, in Revelation 22, we read these words:

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

This sums up the offer, God is making through the whole bible.

May you today COME.

55 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

God bless you
