An Invitation from Jesus
Isa 53:3-6 (TLB)
{3} We despised him and rejected him--
a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest
grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked
the other way when he went by.
He was despised, and we didn't care.
{4} Yet it was our grief he bore, our
sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were
a punishment from God,
for his own sins!
{5} But he was wounded and bruised
for our sins.
He was beaten that we might have peace;
he was lashed--and we were healed!
{6} We--every one of us--have strayed
away like sheep!
We, who left God's paths to follow our
own.
Yet God laid on him the guilt and sins
of every one of us!
~~~~~~~~
Mat 11:28-30 (KJV)
{Jesus says}
{28} Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
{29} Take my yoke upon you, and learn
of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
{30} For my yoke is easy, and my burden
is light.
~~~~~~~~
Isa 45:21b-23 (TLB)
...{21b} For there is no other God but
me--
a just God and a Savior--no, not one!
{22} Let all the world look to me for
salvation!
For I am God; there is no other.
{23} I have sworn by myself, and I will
never go back on my word,
for it is true--that every knee
in all the world shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall swear allegiance
to my name."
~~~~~~~~
Isa 55:1-3 (TLB)
{1} "Say there! Is anyone thirsty?
Come and drink--even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine and milk--it's
all free!
{2} Why spend your money on food that
doesn't give you strength?
Why pay for groceries that do you
no good?
Listen and I'll tell you where to get good
food that fattens up the soul!
{3} "Come to me with your ears wide open.
Listen, for the life of your soul is at
stake.
I am ready to make an everlasting covenant
with you,
to give you all the unfailing mercies
and love that I had for King David.
~~~~~~
Rev 3:15-21 (TLB)
{15} "I know you well--you are neither
hot nor cold;
I wish you were one or the other!
{16} But since you are merely lukewarm,
I will spit you out of my mouth!
{17} "You say, 'I am rich, with everything
I want; I don't need a thing!'
And you don't realize that spiritually
you are wretched and miserable
and poor and blind and naked.
{18} "My advice to you is to buy pure gold
from me, gold purified by fire--
only then will you truly be rich.
And to purchase from me and to get
medicine from me to heal your eyes
and give you back your sight.
{19} I continually discipline and punish
everyone I love;
so I must punish you unless you turn from
your indifference
and become enthusiastic about the things
of God.
{20} "Look! I have been standing at the
door, and I am constantly knocking.
If anyone hears me calling him and opens
the door,
I will come in and fellowship with
him and he with me.
{21} I will let everyone who conquers
sit beside me on my throne,
just as I took my place with my Father
on his throne when I had conquered.
John 6:37-40 (KJV)
All that the Father giveth me shall come
to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.
{38} For I came down from heaven, not
to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
{39} And this is the Father's will which
hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should
lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last
day.
{40} And this is the will of him that
sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and
believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 7:37-38 (KJV)
In the last day, that great day of the
feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come
unto me, and drink.
{38} He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of
living water.
