There is nothing mysterious or mystical about "coming." It is one of the simplest of words; a child understands it. If Christ were standing before you now, and you heard Him say, "Come," would you have to ask what He meant?
When the Lord walked upon the Sea of Galilee, Peter requested: "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water." Jesus said to him, "Come." It was the simplest of things to obey, though the circumstances were contrary to nature.
In the words of Frances Ridley Havergal, "Fear not, believe only; and let yourself come to Him immediately! Take with you words, and turn to the Lord. Say unto Him, 'Take away all iniquity and receive [me] graciously.' You know that His answer is, 'Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.'
“Do you still feel unaccountably puzzled about it? Give a quiet hour to the records of how others came to Jesus. Begin with the eighth of Matthew, and trace out all through the gospels how they came to Jesus with all sorts of different needs. Trace in these cases your own spiritual needs of cleansing, healing, salvation, guidance, sight, teaching. They knew what they wanted and they knew whom they wanted. And consequently they just came.”
Come then to Him with all your need, and if you
"—ask Him to receive you,
Will He say you, 'Nay?'
Not till earth, and not till heaven
Pass away!”
