The invitation is out there. It’s been sent. Will you open it, read it, and toss it aside? Perhaps you’ll open it and put it on the fridge intending to respond “one day.” We The Kingdom sings the invitation to “come” in their song “God So Loved.”
Come, let us explore the call to follow and where it might lead.

This Week’s Challenge
First, if you have yet to accept the invitation to believe in Jesus as your personal Savior, accept it today! Then, explore 12 instances of “come” in the New Testament. They are listed in the show notes above. Remember, this word has a deeper meaning than just moving positions — it really means come and follow. Won’t you come and follow Jesus and lend an ear to what He might say to you through His Word today?
