Come to Me, Jesus Said

God offers many words of comfort in His Word. He always loves and cares and desires the best for people, no matter how little they desire Him. A recent meditation was on how He calls others to be closer to Him, or even those who were never close to Him He beckons.

Matthew 11:28-29
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

He offers peace to all who are near Him and to those who are distant. The only qualification being that you recognise you have a burden and are weary of it.

What kind of burden would the Christ want to see and bear from you? Burdens come in a variety, ranging from work demands to health concerns; broken relationships with people to a non-existent relationship with God. He will take your cares and even your sins as long as you would come to Him.

Isaiah 55:1
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

And we all know how much milk and wine is starting to cost... in Jesus' day and climate, these 2 things were expensive and hard to get. Jesus may have lived in a geographically parched and dry desert land, but our spiritual condition is probably no different. So come and be filled with life abundantly given by Jesus. And free feasts, no one would want to turn that down. All you need to do is trust that invitation and come.

Revelations 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Here is the person who loves you so much He's consistently knocking on the door of your heart. You can keep the door closed and choose to ignore His existence and hope He goes away. But while we're here on earth, His only mission is to come into your life to have a relationship with you, not harm or destroy you (Jeremiah 29:11). He makes this salvation plan so easy: just come to the door and open.

What is your choice?
