2 Kings 21:19-22:20; Lamentations 2:1-22; 1 Timothy 5:1-25

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. Revelation 22:17

Throughout the Bible, God entreats people to come to Him. He describes Himself reaching out His hands, imploringly to wayward Israel. When He walked on earth, Christ told the weary and heavy laden to come to Him for rest and salvation. Unsurprisingly, the Bible’s final chapter continues the same offer for the living water of eternal life. Yet, there is an added person inviting others: “the bride”. Believers join in this glorious invitation! Let us not
weary in witnessing. Tell someone today. —K. R. Keyser

God and the Lamb shall there the light and temple be,
And radiant hosts forever share the unveiled mystery.  —John N. Darby
