THE LAST INVITATION
Revelation 22:17

In just a little while I'm going to invite many of you to come forward and receive the Lord Jesus
as your personal Savior. It's a very special and meaningful thing when you receive an invitation. I guess

come forward to receive Him as your personal Savior.
Our text for the morning is what I call the last invitation in the Bible. It is a personal invitation
from God Himself. The God of this universe - a personal invitation from His Son the Lord Jesus Christ

gives meaning and purpose and fulfillment to your existence.
This is a very important invitation and a very simple invitation. Three times he uses a little word,
come. It's a four letter word, but one of the good four letter words and is one of the most important
words in all of the Bible. 678 times in your Bible this word, come, occurs ...
