HE MAKES THE CHOICE                     Monday October 19, 2015

Text: John 6:41 – 45                           Memory verse: v 44

Here are some truths in our bible reading for today.

1. That people don’t just come to Christ. They are drawn to Him.

2. That the drawing of sinful souls unto Jesus Christ is the special and peculiar work of God. This drawing is a powerful act, but not a compulsory act; God does not draw any against his or her will to Christ, but He inclines the wills of sinners to come unto him. He draws by effectual persuasion, and not by violent compulsion.

3. That all those who are drawn to Christ here, shall be raised up gloriously by Him hereafter (v 44). Such as are brought to Christ by the Father, Christ shall not abandon them, till He has raised them up at last, and presented them blameless and complete before His Father; where they shall ever be with Him.

God, drawing us to Himself starts with the knock at the door of our hearts (Revelation 3:20). It is only when we have responded to that knocking; He will draw us to Himself. Remember John 15:16. Has he drawn you to himself?

Food for Thought: John 6:65

Prayer: Lord, draw me to yourself and make me yours in Jesus name.
