Topic: The universal invitation of the All sufficient God
Text: Matthew 11:28
Out of the shambles and Travails of the world, there comes a call from the sovereign King, he who has and can do all things, willing to lift our head and set us on high.
Unauthorized, unworthy, and unfit though we are, yet he reach forth his hand, to pull us out of the horrible pit, though we've been defiled, and shattered, and our grievous actions hunt our memories, yet the great Shepherd of the flock will not suffer a loss of one of us, he still goes after you, leaving the ninety and nine that are save in his camp.
Though almost all is lost, and wastefully spent, all the talent used, for a prodigal end, yet at a sight of us he'll run toward and command a new raiment be brought, he'll mend the wound, heal the heart, that the wicked has torn, and give life and shape to a defeated you.
1) Are you struggling with sin, he says come, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Isaiah 1:18
2) Are you sick in your body remember Matthew 8:16 "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:" he can heal your sickness and diseases, of him Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
3) Are you afflicted, is the enemies after you? Just come and his promise is this in Luke 1:74 "That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear"
4)Are you fearful or in doubt of the future? He says come and I will be with you, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Isaiah 43:2 trust him for Psalms 37:4 says "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
5) Are you down and thinking there's no hope to rise again, look, hope is here come and see, for he says in Isaiah 52:1 "Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean." and he also says in Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."
6) Are you praying and yet it seems there is no answer, he says come unto me, and when you come see his promise In Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
7) whatever your condition, or predicament, it may be a need, he said he will supply, see Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." whatever no matter how great, or grievous, he has the solution and he is willing to reach out to you,
Now he is calling, he says in 2 Corinthians 6:2 "... I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." yes, your sins have separated you from him for Isaiah Said it in Isaiah 59:2 "... your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." but he declares that Today he is bringing you out of your sin if you will come to him, listen to him, for he
says Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.
