IN a busy little store in a large town, a sale was proceeding. Notices were posted up to that effect, and one which drew my attention read as follows,
“Bargains for all.
Something for Everybody.”
I stopped to look and noticed that many people, old and young, were going in. They came out again, some with large parcels and some with small. Entering the store myself, I also came out with a parcel, but there was one thing which had not been mentioned. Something had to be given in exchange for the parcels. Of course, you will all guess—money. True, there was something to suit all who had money, but those without could not partake of the tempting offer.
Now let me tell you of a really wonderful offer, which is to all, especially to those without money,
“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. Here we have a really genuine offer, one which is open to all.
Sometimes children have very little money of their own, and how could they accept God’s offer of salvation if money were needed to purchase it? No! God’s gifts are free, yes, free to you today without money and without price, but at what a cost to Jesus, even the cost of His own precious life!
Accept God’s offer today.
