Jesus is Inviting You: "Come to me" Jesus is inviting you to come into a relationship with Himself. Jesus is telling you "Come to me...and I will give you rest." This is a promise by God, for only God can make a such a promise. If you come to Him, then He will give you rest. Coming to Jesus means entering into His presence. Walking up to Him in your mind and heart with all that you are and with all that you have done, and talking and sharing with Him all that your heart holds. You might be thinking, "Oh, I can't do that...with all that I am...." But Jesus wants you just the way you are. Jesus doesn't put any restrictions on His invitation, except that He wants you to come. Jesus says directly "Come". And He attaches a promise to it. That If you come, He will give you rest." The only condition to that promise is that you must come to Him in order for Him to fulfill His promise.

Scripture - Bijbeltekst


Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)

3The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.


Song of Solomon 2:2-4(KJV)

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.


Jeremia 31:3 (NBG)
Van verre is de HERE mij verschenen:
Ja, Ik heb u liefgehad met eeuwige liefde,
daarom heb Ik u getrokken in goedertierenheid.


Hooglied 2:2-4 (GNB)

hij
2 Als een lelie tussen distels,
zo is mijn vriendin tussen de meisjes.

zij
3 Een boom vol appels midden in het struikgewas,
zo is mijn lief te midden van de mannen.
Hoe graag wil ik in zijn schaduw zitten,
zijn vruchten zijn zo zoet in mijn mond!
4 Mijn lief neemt mij mee naar het wijnhuis,
daar heft hij voor mij zijn banier,
de banier van de liefde!
