All last school year, our Wednesday night worship leader, Rob H, chose a theme in the scripture we read during our corporate worship time each night – the passages where God says “Come to me.”
I noticed patterns in these verses and decided to chart out these passages. And since this week’s fighter verse is one of them, I thought I’d post the chart. Here it is.
What does God want from you?
Reference | Speaker | If You Are… | What God Says To Do | The Resulting Blessing | What You Don’t Need |
Matthew 11:28-30 | Jesus | Laboring And Heavy-Laden | Come To Me | Rest | Work |
Isaiah 55:1-3 | Yahweh | Thirsty | Come To Me | Good Food, Drink That Satisfies | Money, Price |
Rev 22:17 | Jesus | Thirsty and Desirous | Come To Me | Water Of Life | Price |
Mark 13:16 | Jesus | You Receive The Kingdom Of God Like A Child | Come To Me | Blessing And Christ’s Embrace | Maturity |
John 6:32-37 | Jesus | You Believe In Jesus | Come To Me | Bread of Life, Never Cast Out | Moses |
What Others Say
