John 4:28–30 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
Jesus came to the woman at the well and revealed Himself to her as the Messiah. She, in turn, invited others to come and meet Him as well.
Jesus came to this world. He invites us to come to Him. And He wants us to invite others, just as that Samaritan woman did. The promise attached to responding to His invitation is resurrection and life.
John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
I came across a great song of invitation about 15 years ago written by Joel Payne. It is used a lot around Easter, but it can and should be sung all year. The lyrics are printed below and there is a link to the video as well. We need to share this information and invitation in our daily lives.
Come, see the Son of the living God
hanging on a tree, dying there for you and me.
Come, see the bringer of truth and grace
nailed there for us, agony across his face.
(Chorus)
This is love displayed,
this is mercy perfectly portrayed in Christ, the cross of Christ.
Come, see the innocent Son of God
punished there for us, rescuing us with his blood.
Come, see the healer of wounded souls
crucified for us, broken there to make us whole.
(Chorus)
Come, see the tomb where they laid him down;
the stone is rolled away, nothing but the grave clothes now.
Come, see the King is alive again,
risen from the dead, ushering a new age in.
This is victory,this is life for everyone who will believe in Jesus Christ.
Come and worship him, come and sing to him,
come and live for him, Jesus Christ.
