LORD, SIMPLY COME


Come to me Lord, I will not speculate how, Nor think at which door I would have thee appear, Nor put off calling till my oors be swept, But cry, Come, Lord, come any way, come now Doors, windows, I throw wide, my head I bow, And sit like someone who so long has slept That he knows nothing till His life draws near God has not asked that we be perfect, or even religious. We need meet no standard of saintliness before He will

come. He only asks that we let Him come. At rst thought, this seems too easy. Does He make no judgment between good and evil? Would he have come to a Nero, or a Genghis Khan, or a Hitler? He did come to a Paul while Paul was still hating Christians and stalking them to their deaths. There is something preposterous about God wanting us at all. None of us is good through and through. We are a motley company for a Holy God. We despoil His earth, and we often ignore or despise one another. The strange story of the Bible, which we call the gospel, is the good news that he is so greedy to have us that he sent His only Son to die in an effort to reclaim us. No religion in the entire world is quiet as audacious as the Christian faith. All other religions imply that only by a good life does a person invite the presence of God. Ones house had better be cleansed of sin before a God will deign to take up residence. Whatever unsavoury crowd we may be entertaining greed, pride, lust-if we are in earnest about having the Lord as an honoured guest and friend, he will help us evict the intruders. Once they begin to leave, we will know a peace only the Lord can give. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to Him (Rev 3:20) May our good God bless you all, With prayerful regards, Mothy Achen
