Day 88 Readings: Revelation 18:1-22:21
Included in today's reading is the following:
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
The point of these 90 days of reading is to lift up the promises and goodness of God. God says "Come!". Those who hear are invited to echo the call to "Come!"
Our thirsty and parched world is invited to slake their spiritual thirst.
Our own thirsty and parched selves are invited to slake our spiritual thirst.
The gift is offered to us freely but it was not free. It came at great price paid by Jesus. We ought never to forget what it cost (and thereby diminish the cross). We ought never try to supplement the payment (which also would diminish the work on the cross).
When Jesus said "It is finished." he meant just that. The work is done. The reward is ours. God is good. Our thirsty souls need thirst no more. Thanks be to God!!!
God, quench our thirsts. Help our refreshed souls cry out in thanksgiving and joy that all who might would come. Amen.
