In 1978 a twenty five year old young man stood in front of a live TV camera in a small town in North Carolina, and encouraged viewers to turn to Christ. There had been testimonies of people who had accepted Christ as their Savior and now the invitation was given. Would anyone respond? There were telephone counselors ready to take the calls. Would anyone call? That really was up to the Holy Spirit to draw them and draw them He did.
As he gave the invitation he read the following scripture, “The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.“ (Revelation 22:17)
Yes, anyone means you. So as I approach my 70th birthday, I’ll repeat the invitation that I made on local TV 45 years ago, to the more than 108 countries where this blog is read today…
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.“ (Revelation 22:17)
