An Invitation to Abundant Life

Isaiah 55 (NKJV)   

An Invitation to Abundant Life     

¹ “Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.

² Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

³ Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.

⁴ Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.

⁵ Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the LORD your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”

⁶ Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.

⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

⁸ “ For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

⁹ “ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

¹⁰ “ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,

¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

¹² “ For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

¹³ Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the LORD for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

Surely in this chapter, The Lord is issuing an invitation to WHOSOEVER WILL, to come to HIM and receive Eternal Life!!! 

Money cannot buy Eternal Life.  Jesus is the ONLY WAY into the Kingdom of God in Heaven!!!

And WHOSOEVER WILL CHOOSE TO ACCEPT HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!!!  

And when you accept HIM, you will drink of the waters and never be thirsty again, you will eat and never be hungry again!!!  For ONLY JESUS can satisfy that hunger within you-that hunger and longing that comes from deep within your soul.  
 

Jesus is that-which every man is looking for-that which every man hunts for.  You can’t find it in drugs or alcohol or sex or in other people!!!   

Jesus paid the price for Our Salvation, Our Healing, Our Return to God the Father on the Cross of Calvary, and He paid it in full!!! 

Did you know that Jesus sits on the right hand of the Father and prays daily for those who have accepted HIM as Lord and Savior???

The message is clear, if you listen to Jesus and follow HIM, then you indeed will have Eternal Life and your soul shall live. 


When you accept Jesus, the everlasting covenant-the promise of life in Jesus-is yours.  It will never pass away and God unlike man will NOT break His Word to you!!! 

God NOT only gave His Son to die for us, but JESUS WILLINGLY DIED FOR US ON THE CROSS.  HIS LOVE FOR US IS THE GREATEST TESTIMONY OR WITNESS OF ALL!!!
