"Come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God..." Psalm 95:6-7

We have been looking at some of the "comes" of God and I would like to
mention a few more this week. In God's loving kindness and tender mercies,
He graciously holds out to all the invitation to come to a place of safety;
to good fellowship; to personal cleansing; to a satisfying portion as seen
last time. Now we see His invitation to:

Come for rest of soul:
Jesus speaking says,
"Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart; and you shall find rest for your soul." Matthew 11: 28-29

We believers are to humble ourselves,
"Casting the whole of your care [all anxieties, all your worries, all your
concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and
cares about you watchfully." 1 Peter 5:7 The Amplified Bible
In Christ Jesus our Lord is our rest!

An invitation to come to a great supper:
"And at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been
invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now'. But they all alike began to
make excuses..." Luke 14:17-18 (Read the whole account vs. 15-24)

The Apostle Paul in Corinthians urges:
"Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating
through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made
Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
The cost of the feast to the Father was His very own unique Son! Who can
refuse?!!

Come at the king's pressing invitation to the wedding feast:
"Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited,
'Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are
all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.'"
Matthew 22:4

"...Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. So that He might
sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word. That
He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or
wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless.]
Ephesians 5:25-27 The Amplified Bible

Revelation 19:7-9 tells us of the marriage and the marriage supper we look
forward to:
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of
the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. And it was given to
her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is
the righteous acts of the saints. And he said to me, 'Write, Blessed are
those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'"

Come at the Three-fold call:
"And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say,
'Come!' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the
water of life freely." Revelation 22:17

Let us bow down and give praise and honor with grateful hearts to Him who
calls us to come out of darkness into His glorious Light! Amen and Amen!
