And Finally

An Invitation

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters;
and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David" (Isaiah 55:1-3).

So Isaiah entreated his fellow Israelites to long for spiritual nourishment, and find it all supplied, free of cost, to nurture, comfort, guide and direct them through life's concerns. We have this privilege even more in the redemption provided us in Christ, and all its attendant call to glory. By and by the world will recognize their privileges in the Kingdom, when this heavenly nourishment, then common fare, will be richly appreciated by a grateful world.
