“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” — Revelation 22:17
Jesus says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and no repentance, — come to Him, and He will give them to you. Come just as you are, and take “Freely,” without money and without price. He gives Himself to needy ones. The drinking fountains at the corners of our streets are valuable institutions; and we can hardly imagine any one so foolish as to feel for his purse, when he stands before one of them, and to cry, “I cannot drink because I have not five pounds in my pocket.” However…
poor the man is, there is the fountain, and just as he is
he may drink of it. Thirsty passengers, as they go by, whether they are
dressed in fustian or in broadcloth, do not look for any warrant for
drinking; its being there is their warrant for taking its water freely. The
liberality of some good friends has put the refreshing crystal there and we
take it, and ask no questions. Perhaps the only persons who need go
thirsty through the street where there is a drinking fountain, are the fine
ladies and gentlemen who are in their carriages. They are very thirsty, but
cannot think of being so vulgar as to get out to drink. It would demean
them, they think, to drink at a common drinking fountain: so they ride by
with parched lips. Oh, how many there are who are rich in their own good
works and cannot therefore come to Christ! “I will not be saved,” they
say, “in the same way as the harlot or the swearer.” What! go to heaven in
the same way as a chimney sweep. Is there no pathway to glory but the
path which led the thief there? I will not be saved that way. Such proud
boasters must remain without the living water; but,
“WHOSOEVER WILL, LET HIM TAKE THE
WATER OF LIFE FREELY.”
