"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."
Revelation 22:17
Part 2
Yesterday:
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.”
“And let him that heareth say, Come.”
“And let him that is athirst come.”
For the thirsting soul, there is the water of life. Come and get it!
Today:
“And whosoever will let him take the water of life freely.”
“And whosoever will,” what beautiful words! Has the Lord spoken to your soul? He’s inviting you to come to Him. Won’t you obey His call and come?
“Whosoever” means that you are included in the invitation!
“Whosoever will. Literally the one willing,”1 (Bullinger).
“But mark thee, sinner, it says, ‘whosoever.’ What a big word that is! Whosoever! There is no standard height here. It is of any height and any size. Little sinners, big sinners, black sinners, fair sinners, sinners double dyed, old sinners, aggravated sinners, sinners who have committed every crime in the whole catalogue, – whosoever,”2 (Spurgeon).
“Every one that is disposed to come, that has any sincere wish to be saved, is assured that he may live. No matter how unworthy he is; no matter what his past life has been; no matter how old or how young, how rich or how poor; no matter whether sick or well, a freeman or a slave; no matter whether educated or ignorant; no matter whether clothed in purple or in rags – riding in state or laid at the gate of a rich man full of sores, the invitation is freely made to all to come and be saved,”3 (Barnes).
You may wonder, “what will it cost?” Don’t worry about the price, Jesus has paid it, and you may come and “take the water of life freely!”
“No soul is excluded: Jesus died for every man; every man may be saved; therefore let him who wills, who wishes for salvation, come and take the water of life freely – without money or price!”4 (Clarke)
Don’t be left out! Come to Christ today!
