December 4

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev 22:17)

How many men fold their arms and say: “If I am one of the elect, I will be saved, and if I am not, I won't. No use bothering

about it.”

I have an idea that the Lord Jesus saw how men were going to stumble over this doctrine of election, so after He had been thirty or forty years in heaven He came down and spoke to John. One Lord’s day in Patmos, He said to him:

“Write these things to the churches.”

John kept on writing. His pen flew very fast. And then the Lord, when it was nearly finished, said,

“John, before you close the book, put in one more invitation. ‘The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that it athirst, come. And Whosoever Will, let him take the water of life freely.’”
