The Last Invitation

Before the Bible closes, God gives one final invitation: “Come.”

In Revelation 22:17, that invitation reaches the spiritually thirsty: “And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

There is a thirst in the human soul that the things of this world cannot satisfy. Money, position, recognition, love, success, and possessions may satisfy temporarily, but eventually we discover an empty place that only Christ can fill.

Jesus offers living water—and His invitation is remarkably simple: Come.

Then there is that wonderful word: “whosoever.” Any age. Any race. Any status. Any culture. The moral unbeliever may come. The immoral unbeliever may come. Whatever our past, the invitation remains open. And the water of life is offered freely.

But this message also speaks to those of us who already know Christ. Perhaps there was a time when Jesus was not only our Savior but the satisfaction of our lives. We loved Him, found our meaning in Him, and enjoyed the closeness of walking with Him. Then somewhere along the way, we began to drift.

The invitation has not changed.

Unbelieving sinner—come.
Wandering Christian—come.
Thirsty soul—come.

Before the final benediction, before Revelation ends, and before the Bible closes, God asks us to respond to His final invitation.

Are you thirsty today?
