Wouldn’t you like a wonderful
offer? Listen to what our Lord
and Savior offers. “Come unto
me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you
rest” Matt. 11:28. “If any man
thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink” John 7:37. “If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed” John 8:36.
“I am the Way, the Truth, and
the Life” John 14:6.
These texts suggest the many
things which Christ offers to men.
The great “I am” statements of
John’s "Gospel are indeed offers
of Jesus to men, and John pre
sents these to show in what ways
Jesus offers himself to men.
I am the bread of life—Food
I am the light of the world—^
Light
l am me aoor-j_jioercy
I am the £ood shepherd—guid
ance
I am the resurrection and the
life—Eternal Life.
Although sin makes many
promises, offers hope, bright
• lights, success, a good time, popu
larly, worldly wisdom and fame,
it is well for us to catch the
tone and motive of these declar
ations. Sin will but destroy re
gardless of the picture presented
of the promises made. The motive
back of the declarations of Christ
were never made to bring some
thing to himself; It is always a
declaration that offers something
to someone else. We can vision
these given to us with out
stretched arms and spoken in
tender compassion “Come unto
me,” no one needs to hunger or
doubt or stray or die. Christ of
fers forgiveness of sin. Jesus of
fers the only hope of deliverence.
Christ offers release from sih’s
power. Sin shall not retain do
minion over you. Christ offers a
love that transends all human
love.
Wouldn’t you come to this
Christ and accept His generous
offer? i
