“The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.” Revelation 22:17 (ESV)
We find many invitations in the Bible. They tell of the many blessings which God offers to those who accept His invitation. This verse is an invitation that has been good since even before the day it was written. While still on the earth before his death and resurrection Jesus had offered “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink." (John 7:37 (ESV)) This offer and many others were why Jesus came into our world as a human. In just the chapter before (John 6:35 (ESV)) Jesus offered himself as the Bread of Life. “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger,” His ministry was to offer Kingdom of God to all. There has always been the opportunity to satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. That has always been the great desire of our Lord – to satisfy the thirsty soul. And He promises satisfaction and offers it as a free gift. If your heart is longing for spiritual satisfaction today, just in faith accept it from your Lord and it is yours.
