Isaiah 55:1-3

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;

and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!

Come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?

Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,

and delight yourselves in rich food.

Incline your ear, and come to me, hear, that your soul may live;

and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David."

A whole sermon could not do justice to the richness and glory that is written in these 3 short verses: Praise Jesus!

What is the invitation?
Come even though you have nothing to recommend you, nothing to use to purchase favor, come.

What is the offer?
I will give you rich food; food that will bring your joy. Water and wine that will quench your thirsty soul. Life itself for your body and steadfast love for your soul.

Note well:
The covenant for David, spoken nearly 3000 years ago is offered to you. Not an earthly Kingdom for your family, but steadfast and sure love for your soul (however, note: 1 Peter 2:9-10).

Almighty Father: Praise Your holy Name for You are good.
Almighty Son: Praise Your holy Name for You are preeminent.
Almighty Spirit: Praise Your holy Name for You are precious.

What kind of 'money' do you have that could 'pay' God for His grace?
What are you doing to 'earn' God's grace?
What do you need from your Father today? Ask Him for it; He is your Abba, your Papa.

Resting on grace with you,
Pastor Greg
