Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” Isa. 55:1 (See also John 4:10,14 and Rev. 22:17).
What wonderful grace! God offers living water, or the water of life, to the one who is thirsty and has no money. To him who needs it, and is unable to obtain in Do you know your need, dear child? Do you know that you are a sinner and that you need a Saviour, and that on can do nothing to save yourself, but God has given His own Son to save you?
We read in Luke 7 of two of these people who had no money, and they were in need, for they could not pay what they owed.
“And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both.” (vs. 42). Are you like them? Do you know that you have nothing to pay? Then, accept God’s gracious offer now.
The bills in the store windows say, “Come early, only a few more days.” But God does not promise even a few more days. He says,
“Behold, now is the accepted time: behold, now is the day of salvation,” 2 Cor. 6:2.
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord though your sins be as scarlet, they shall he as white as snow.” Isa. 1:18.
God offers all these wonderful blessings to you without money, and without price; but think what it cost Him to be able to do so.
“He spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all.” Romans 8:32.
And the Lord Jesus, God’s own Son, shed His own precious blood. We who are His, sometimes sing,
“We are by Christ redeemed,
The cost His precious blood.”
“Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold... but with the precious blood of Christ.” 1 Peter 1:18,19.
Seeing then that it is at such a cost that God has provided a Saviour, and knowing that you are a sinner who can do nothing to save yourself, will you not receive Him now?
