Land of Mercy

What we pack for a trip is largely determined by where we are going and what we'll be doing: warm clothes for cool-weather places, fishing gear for fishing, a coffee maker when there is none present. Jesus' invitation of John 37:7 goes like this: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come unto Me and drink." No preparation or planning required - just come. No pondering or deliberation - just come. Just come - come thirsty expecting a Drink. How sad people leave one year and into another still thirsting for what Christ offers freely: salvation, peace, rest, complete satisfaction. Spurgeon writes, "It's a wonder we still live in the land His Mercy!" The calendar of time has changed many times yet Jesus' invitation remains: come, anyone who is thirsty. What do you bring? Bring your thirst and drink of the Fullness of Christ in the ... Land of Mercy.
