OUR Lord's word: COME.
1. The absolute assurance and comfort in His declaration:
“Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37.)
“In no wise" forbids every question and silences every fear. It embraces every human being, irrespective of what he is or what he may have done.).
2. The cheer and encouragement to the sin-burdened in His gracious invitation: “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28.)
Every sin-burdened soul is assured of that rest which all the world cannot give, and which it has never so much even as suggested to offer any human being. The rest is the gift of One Person—Jesus only.
3. The satisfaction for oneself; and the wealth for others, the Lord promises, as He says “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink; he that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly" (i.e., inner spiritual man) "shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:37, 38.)
The Lord appeases soul thirst and heart longings; He quenches every desire by sustaining the heart of him who comes to Him with Himself. And this miracle on earth having been accomplished, a further miracle of grace is wrought; for the once yearning, unsatisfied heart becomes an up-springing fountain—nay, a river of blessing to others.
