TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

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

​Memorize this Verse:
17. A T S A T B S C A L H T H S C A L H T I A C A W W L H T T W O L F

Notes on verse:

“Come”: This is the Spirit’s and church’s answer to the promise of His coming.

The Holy Spirit, since the beginning, has been saying “Come”. Unless the Holy Spirit of God woos you, you can forget being saved. It is God’s wish that all should be saved. I really believe what this is saying, in this particular instance, is that the Spirit and the believers are saying, “Come quickly Lord Jesus”. Salvation is open to whosoever will.

“Let him that heareth say”: This is an unlimited offer of grace and salvation to all who desire to have their thirsty souls quenched (compare Isa. 55:1-2).

The Lord’s Last Invitation to Humankind. The Lord Jesus Christ, ever concerned for the souls of the lost, closes His great revelation with a challenge for individual people to call on His name. He indicates that there are two who invite us to come to Him: the “Spirit” and the “bride”. In addition, He will even use “him who hears.”

God the Holy Spirit will use the printed page as well as those who are just repeating what they have heard but may not even believe what they are saying. He also uses the “bride”, which indicated that the primary ministry of the Church of Christ during the entire Church Age is to tell others about the Savior. All Christians everywhere should be engaged in saying to their fellow human beings: “Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” Jesus Christ, of course, is the water of life
