EVERYONE MAY COME

By A.W. Tozer

Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17

There is a strange beauty in the ways of God with men.
He sends salvation to the world in the person of a Man
and sends that Man to walk the byways, saying, "If any
man will come after Me!" No fanfare; no tramp of
marching feet!

A kindly Stranger walks through the earth, and so quiet
is His voice that it is sometimes lost in the hurly-burly;
but it is the last voice of God, and until we become quiet
to hear it, we have no authentic message.

"If any man," He says, and teaches at once the universal
inclusiveness of His invitation and the freedom of the
human will. Everyone may come; no one need come, and
whoever does come, comes because he chooses to.

Every man thus holds his future in his hand. Not the
dominant world leader only, but the inarticulate man lost
in anonymity is "a man of destiny!"  He decides which
way his soul shall go. He chooses, and destiny waits on
the nod of his head. He decides, and hell enlarges itself,
or heaven prepares another mansion!

So much of Himself has God given to man!
