“Come.”  My heart thrills with this word in Scripture.  And there are many as we see in the following verses.  

Come into the place of Safety:
“Then the LORD said to Noah, ‘Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.’”  Genesis 7:1

Come to a Goodly Fellowship:
“Now Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, ‘We are setting out for a place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’  Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”  Numbers 10:29

Come for Personal Cleansing:
“‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the LORD,
‘Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.’”  Isaiah 1:18

Come for a Satisfying Portion:
“Ho!  Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.”  Isaiah 55:1

Come for Rest of Soul:
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  Matthew 12:28  (This passage 12:28-30 is one of my favorite portions of Scripture.  Read it and be blessed.)

Come at the King’s urgent Invitation:
“Again, he sent out other servants saying, ‘See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready.  Come to the wedding.’”  Matthew 22:4

Come to the Gospel Feast:
“and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’”  Luke 14:17

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.  And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”  Revelation 22:17

Jesus comforts His Disciples:
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”  John 14:3

Each of these verses offer an opportunity for further study in what brought it about.  How blessed we are for the freedom to come as gracious God calls.
Amen
