The Call of Jesus
Jesus calls everyone who is thirsty for eternal life to come to Him!
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: In Isaiah 55, God uses the picture of a marketplace to explain his amazing offer to us. Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Now, centuries later, Jesus took up these words and applied them to himself. If anyone thirsts, he said, let him come to me and drink. The street trader is the son of God, and he offers to satisfy the deepest thirsts of your soul. Jesus offers to freely give what you need the most. He paid the price so that the life he offers could be given freely to you.
Guest (Male): Is there someone in your life who needs to know the God of the Bible and might be open to take a journey through the Bible with you? Invite them to openthebible.org.
