KRISTINA

Good Morning! I am Kristina Crabtree, Pastor of Missions and Evangelism at

Central United Methodist Church. As we begin our day, let us meditate on

the word “come.” What meaning is brought to mind when I say the word

“come?” Maybe you thought about moving towards, inviting, or just maybe

an action.

When I think about this word from the Christian perspective, I think of Jesus

inviting those who do not know him to come and know him. Revelation 22:17

gives us a more in-depth meaning to the word “come.” It says, “The spirit

and the bride say, ‘come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one

who desires take the water of life without price.”

This gives us a community meaning when it comes to the action of “coming”

to Jesus. This invitation from Jesus is to everyone, Christian or non-

Christian, Christian for a short time or Christian for a long time. The action

of coming to Jesus never stops for us. Jesus is always calling us to come to

him. I invite you to go and intently spend time with the one who is inviting

you to come. Be encouraged today!
