And he said, Come. Matthew 14:29
AT 14:29{But what is "coming"? One's very familiarity with the terms used to express spiritual things, seems to have a tendency to make one feel mystified about them. And their very simplicity makes one suspicious, as it were, that there must be some mysterious and mystical meaning behind them, because they sound too easy and plain to have such great import. "Come" means "come"—just that! and not some occult process of mental effort. What would you understand by it, if you heard it today for the first time, never having had any doubts or suppositions or previous notions whatever about it? What does a little child understand by it? It is positively too simple to be made plainer by any amount of explanation.
Here, it is "calling apart." and the place may be desert indeed,
Leaving and losing the blessings linked with our busy need;
There!—why should I say it? hath not the heart leapt up,
Swift and glad, to the contrast, filling the full, full cup?
Still shall the key-word, ringing, echo the same sweet "Come!”
“Come" with the blessed myriads safe In the Father's home;
“Come"—for the work is over; "come"—for the feast is spread;
“Come"—for the crown of glory waits for the weary head.
